What are these small brown spots?
I have had small brown specs appear on the rim of my tub for sometime. I just rub them away with a fingernail. I replaced my water a week ago, after they started to cover the inside of my tub. After 1 week, they are back!
They are difficult to remove. I ended up using a scrub daddy and elbow grease when the tub was empty. I tried and failed using “spa cleaner”, baking soda, vinegar, and a melamine sponge.
8 days ago I used ahhsome, emptied the tub, cleaned the filters, changed the mineral stick, change the freshwater salt cell, and scrubbed the shell. Filled the tub using a water softener and a hose filter (even though I am on city water). Got it balanced pretty easily (measured with a Taylor 2006c) and the salt system turned back on. And spots are already coming back! Currently smaller and less of them, but I expect that to change.
Any thoughts?
