    Rough area below water line on Fiberglass pool

    I am letting my CH drift down to recommended, I cant believe I never knew this was something that could happen! Very noticeable on ledge and one wall, want to slow it down or stop from happening further. A bit bummed about this but alas what is done is done

    Rough area below water line on Fiberglass pool

    Moved from here. I noticed yesterday the area below the general area of water line is roughish, after reviewing this it looks like my laissez faire attitude towards chlorine level may have cause this, I generally follow TFP guidelines however I figured 'a little extra chlorine couldnt be bad...

    Adding a pool heater, considering a solar blanket

    Local Pool Store Water Analysis vs TFP Pool Math App

    Looks like for alkalinity you are the the low end but acceptable, you can increase it with baking soda from store. PH is ideal, need to increase CH as do I right now, other than that....how does the pool look?

    It felt like we were in a CAT1 storm, pool was overflowing as we got 3" maybe more rain in an hour or so, everyone is fine other than some soggy basements and downed trees in the neighborhood. Pool was obviously filthy so I checked chlorine asap and from color test looked fine, ran a full test...

    It is an amazing pool.
