What could the milky looking stuff be in my water and filters? It was even settled on the bottom of the pool this am. I put 4 qrts MM in 2 days ago trying to get rid of some stains that I've had for a long time and kept ignoring:hammer: I did lose 50ppm calcium doing this. Still have the dang...

Thanks Dave. That's the kind of answer I wanted:salut::D

Will a sequestrant affect my calcium test?

Thanks. I will give it a try and get the kit.

Another question. Will the sequestrant affect my CH #'s??? BTW. My numbers are usually spot on according to TFP. These #'s are just because I'm dealing with these dang stains. I've always had a pH of about 7.6. Should I try to keep that down some due to the staining? If so what??

Is it possible to remove them(if it is old copper) or is this something I will have to live with and continue to use sequestrant?? Didn't know that about lemons. But crushed vit C in a sock didn't budge them either.

But wouldn't the AA, lemon, or puck at least made some sort of difference if it were any of those stains???? - - - Updated - - - I think I've read every thread on here about stains:cyclopsani: Seems most get results with citric acid or pucks. But noooooooooo, not me.

One winter I let my CH get down to around 100. Maybe poor gelcoat? Just not sure why they wouldn't respond to Vit C nor the puck?? What would the stain kit tell me that I don't already know? They feel rough compare to the rest of the pool surface. Almost like hardened tar is the best way I can...

Here are some pics of the stains

Hey y'all. Haven't posted in awhile but you probably knew I would be back:) A few years ago I noticed a couple of stains in the shallow end. They did not respond to Vit C nor pucks. With my pool surface I was the only one who noticed so I let it go. Probably should have added a sequestrant but...

Hey Matts, Ditto to what Butterfly said. I've not posted in awhile but I've been lurking. Hope you're enjoying your pool this summer :party: :party: Sure do miss your pictures. Don't ever think that we tire of them :wave: :wave:

I don't do Facebook so I was completely caught off guard. Pleasantly surprised too :-D

Just saw Savannah on The Voice. During her intro I'm thinking, that's Sean's daughter from TFP. She was fabulous :party: I love the way they were fighting over her :goodjob: Kinda felt like she would go with Blake. Good luck Savannah :whoot:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JASON :cheers: :punkrock:

Good luck Mats. As meticulous as you were about building that pool, I just can't imagine it being something you did. Also, someone on this forum would have caught a mistake if you weredoing something wrong. There's just way too many smart people around here. And you are one of them :goodjob:

Not to hijack this thread, but Strannik, define connectors.

Lead me in the right direction Dave :-D Is powder coated the same as plastic?????

Found out from the builder that it is a S.R. Smith ladder. Looked on their website and found this: This warranty specifically excludes fading of materials, microbiological staining of diving boards or pool slides and rust or corrosion of any metallic products or parts. The search for a new...

Hey Ted, I agree with you 100% on the trouble I had with this company. I called Family Leisure and the girl went and asked someone if the ladder was in warranty and came back and said it was not covered. Imagine that :rant: I don't know what else to do. I'm looking around the internet for a...

Will do Larry :-D

I have steps in the shallow end. The ladder is in the deep end. See pic from my install. My pool is a fiberglass inground.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Richard

Larry, I'm not sure what you mean by steps :?: I think I just need to replace the ladder, if I don't run into the problem Mickey did. Mine appear to be pretty standard, but then I haven't done any measuring either.

It appears Ultimate only makes ladders for AG pools. I have an IG. It looks like I will be getting a 304 grade ladder. I haven't seen any of the 316 or 317 online that specifically says 316 or 317, but I have a feeling they are going to be too expensive :( But then when I think about it, if...

Mine was 90 yesterday around 6pm. Cooled of to 87 this morning. 8-) The weather in Tn. has been crazy this spring. I added water Saturday because of evaporation and had to drain water Sunday due to a suprise storm that dumped 2" of rain in one hour :hammer:

Welcome to TFP :wave: Put that test kit to work :-D

Thanks Larry. That's great to know. I will check them out.

You are the man Dave :goodjob: Thank you soooo much.

Thanks Dave. If I replace it with a new SS, how do I know if it is a good quality SS ladder, unlike this one that came with my pool??? If I went with the plastic encased one, seems the plastic would break down fairly quickly in a SWCG pool along with the sun exposure. What say you?????
