1. On returning after renting for several years, I found the old swg disconnected and my dark-plaster pool significantly scaled. So much for the three pool services used... An Autopilot is taking care of chlorine generation, but I am trying to find someone with experience with the Coyote [Abrasives] II TSL for scale removal. Don't like the idea of emptying and acid washing.
2. Currently have a [sub-worthless] Barracuda perusing the pool bottom. The cannister is constantly filling with air. Has to be a tubing seep/leak, as there cannot be sufficient air to exolve in the suction line. Weighting the tubing to keep it below the surface is a tedious trial-and-error effort that maybe works, but it's a pain. Tried silicone grease in the joints; no good. The vac will go into the trash or onto CraigsList soon, but I'm wondering if anyone else has seen this problem. Having to add acid every few days is a nuisance and a waste.
3. Read recently about Borax addition and am wondering how much real benefit derives for a well-maintained salt pool.
