What would cause white staining? Or a color void?

Hi, I have a smaller concrete pool at a rental in FL I drained it partially to change out some water and saw this, appears to be the plaster coating wearing off the gunnite? I’m assuming I’ll need to recoat it, but how soon do I need to do that? Don’t really have the cash now but if it’s...

K gotcha, thanks. Just thinking I’m gonna have to bump the SWG output to keep up, if I’m cutting pump time in half then should prolly double the SWG % ?

K, so I got my tax return and bought a Circupool Core 35 swg. Self installed it and now Dialing it in. With the SWG @ 25% it’s holding @ 5 FC. Pump is running 24/7 @ 40 gph, 1750 watts. Is that too much? Would it be better to run pump less, like 12 hrs, and bump SWG to 50%? Would that save...

Haha That’s what I told him…

Hi, Taylor test said 2300 phosphates, so using Orenda PR (I know, I know, but we getting a shiny new SWG and manufacturer says start with zero phosphates, so that’s what DH wants to do). Anyway does it make any difference whether the auto cover is on or off during the process? I’d just as soon...

Gotcha, thanks

Yeah, thanks, I’ve read it. I’m installing Circupool Core35 and install instructions say start with zero phosphates. SWG was expensive, well to me anyway, and ima thinking that if the $50 bottle of Orenda will mitigate any damage to my new SwG then it’s worth the time and trouble…still...

My phosphate level tested @ 2300 @ pool store. I ordered a Taylor test which agrees. I’m switching from a chlorine pool to a SWG. My pool is well balanced and clear. Should I use Phosphate Remover before installing SWG? There’s a lot of differing opinions on this. I have a bottle of Orenda...

Hi, I put 4 boxes of 40 Mule Team in my pool for what I thought was just a start, as I have some Boric acid in order. I got the test strips today and it looks like it’s @ 30. Is this possible? Could borate be coming from another source? I don’t really see or feel any difference in the water...

Thank u!

Do both of these raise TA? Or is it just Borax? Does one raise it more than the other? I want to add borates, but I’d like to avoid dumping in a ton of acid, as it’s hard for me to aerate. Thanks for the help!

K thanks!
