    What is this?

    Sorry for the delay. I left the tabs on the plaster over a year ago. The black stuff turned out to be dirt. I know because I got in the pool and it wasn't slimy and shooting it with a pressure washer quickly removed it. Unfortunately, the plaster in the area where the tabs were left is now...

    What is this?

    Im more concerned about the black spots than the (probably) yellow copper staining. Do you think it is black mold or just the gunite and how would I be able to determine? The gunite would be black, right? If it is gunite showing, can I repair with some of that under water expoxy?

    What is this?

    Just a little background. I made the dumb mistake of leaving 3" chlorine tabs on the bottom of the pool floor. The area around where the tabs were placed on the plaster surface got very rough.

    Pool has been sitting for two months without chlorine...

    My pool has been sitting without chlorine for about two months in Florida. There is a large amount of green junk which I guess is algae on the pool floor. Do I need to vacuum it to waste or I can just vacuum and keep cleaning the filter? if you vacuum to waste, do you take the filter out?
