Thanks Maddie ... previously I used straight MA in a spray bottle and it fizzed right off but I guess the diluted solution would be easier on the stone/mortar and safer ? 😉Do you know what I need to do to prevent it ... or is it even possible ?

Hello all ... I have had an excellent CSI and been balancing my water with TFP methods since last August . I recently in the last month have used acid to get the calcium deposits off my spa waterfall and they reappeared fairly fast ( with in a couple of weeks ) Any advice ?

TFP .... I stand amazed yet again ! Crystal clear this morning ! Swim ready ! Thanks @Richard320!

Thank you ?

Thank you very much
