Be careful, as you now have iron in your pool water that may redeposit on the surfaces.
If so, you will either need to periodically use a sequestrant to keep the iron in solution or drain the pool and fill it with iron free water after you lift the stains.

I have a canister filter with a standard filter element. See the link below. I don’t have any powder left but I will do that in the next couple of days.
I use the test kit from Home Depot. It does about 7 different test. I just did a test at Leslie’s Pool and the only thing it noted was slightly high PH 7.8 and I needed to add a pound of stabilizer. Alkalinity, hardness, chlorine, bromine, all perfect. I’ll upload the Leslie’s report in a bit. I have to scan it.
The water is crystal clear.

I cannot see the crack in the picture you posted.
Where is your expansion joint?
A skimmer in a gunite pool is part of the pool structure and needs to be able to move with the pool. The expansion joint isolating the pool structure from the deck must include the skimmer. Skimmers are connected with rebar to the gunite structure.
