I have to wait to do a complete plaster because the pool companies her are boomed solid til around August at the earliest. Was wondering if the chipped area would be ok til then. I have a well and would hate to have to fill my pool twice in less than a week or two. The company that did the...

Do I need to repair the chipped area you think or can it wait til I have the pool plastered again in the fall. They offered to come out and repair it but I would have to drain it. I just refilled it after having it acid washed.

Did that include tile and coping? I paid around 13 for everything. They estimates were all around the same price if I remember correctly.

$8,000 for 3 years of problems and terrible plaster job.....smh. Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the info. Seems like the plaster is really thin. Even for a skim coat. Also looks the bonding coat was non-existent or failed.

Located in NJ. The warranty just says a 5 year warranty. My fear is they try to repair the chipped part and it just continues in different areas until the warranty is beyond the 5 years. Its a midnight blue pool so I can't imagine it will match. By looks of it they didnt use or have a good bond...

Yes, but Im sure it will be a fight to get them to fix it the right way and tear out the plaster they put in.

No it doesnt look like it. Is that the industry standard to remove old? So far everything I have read says the plaster should be 3/8 to 5/8 inches thick.

Okay, 3 years ago I had my pool renovated which included having the pool plaster redone. So for the last three years I have been having an increasing problem with calcium build up. It started with white spots on the pool bottom and walls and has now moved to small rough nodules all over the pool...

I bought the Leslies DPD test kit. Know I'm assuming its the wrong kit, huh? Well its gonna have to do for know because I dropped way to much money this year already! I have replaced my Polaris pump and filter pump along with numerous chemicals. My water is still crystal clear and from the...

OK...I picked up a test kit (the one from Leslies) and I'm having a hard time reading the results to get an accurate reading. The test kit gives you a range like 3-5 (example). So my question is if its in that range how do you know what number to use when you have to add and subtract numbers...

The discussion about removing phosphates has been moved to the Deep End. JasonLion OK...I think I'm going to start adding the liquid chlorine today. However I must say that the last few post and the dissenting opinions on whether to remove the phosphates total confused me. The two opinions...

Ok I'm going out today to buy a test kit and chlorine to hopefully start adding the liquid chlorine to keep a constant reading. However, just curious why e few people who have posted replies seem to be concerned with my CYA readings. Do they not seem right?

Will I be able to swim while doing this with the chlorine levels so high? Also how long should I wait to check the chlorine levels after adding the bleach for an accurate reading?

Ok...My wife got the water tested again today and to my dismay has brought some more chemicals home that the pool store sold her so that we could swim. Apparently they think thta we should put approx. 12-16oz of Sodium Dichloro-s-triazinetrione in the pool approx half hour before we want to...

Ok I have read parts of Pool School and ow To Shock and I may be slow or something but now my head hurts. First of all I know my FC (Free Chlorine) is zero because I cant hold chlorine. Secondly how do I know how much liquid chlorine to add or even start with in order to bring it up to shock...

The pool store used a tube like you indicated and also used a machine for the other readings. Additionally, I do have the cartridge in the Nature 2. I will try and get the water tested at a pet store today. Also I'm going to have the water tested at the pool store again to check the phosphates...

The insta shock that I'm refering to is Sodium dichloro s Triazinetrone and the previous test results were from a pool store are not from test strips. The strips I used after I added the insta shock to see if there was any chlorine reading. The lady at the store said to add the insta shock a...

My pool water is super clear and prior to this we had been putting atleast 4-5 bags of shock in the pool as well as the 4 five gallon containers of the liquid chlorine.. Additionally, when we added the phosphate remover there was an accumulation of what they said were phosphates on the bottom...

I have a gunite pool approx. 35,000 (Nature 2 Chlorinator)gallons and I can not seem to keep a chlorine reading. I have been two two different pool stores with different advice, One had me put 4 five gallon conatiners of chlorine in the pool along with some phosphate remover. I do have a high...
