Hi
Can you help please,
I live in Turre near Mojacar Almeria, in Spain - not far from Pulpi.
I have had my pool from new and have lived here for 6 years
I have a problem with Crystal Celestine (gypsum crystals)
I have been told to visit this link which is way over my head!
http://giantcrystals.strahlen.org/library/pulpigiganticgypsumcrystals.pdf
I have rough sides and floor to my pool
I brush walls and floor every day, then vacuum - clearing the pump filter and backwashing the sand filter.
Is there anything I can add to the pool, or do, to rid myself of this problem?
I have been told the only remedy is to drain it, jetwash, then replace any loose tiles and regrout, then refill with tanker drinking water.
I has been topped up from the mains for the last 4 years so is obviously mostly mains water anyway and will be again in a while after doing this.
My water is put through a water softener before it goes in the pool.
I have a drinking water filter with ultraviolet light in the kitchen, to enable the water to be drunk, but it would be impractical to use this to fill it up.
Any one have any answers?
