Thanks, that place is the closest, but they don’t have it. Samui takes too long because of the ferry and is expensive too. I usually go to Surat Thani or order online through Lazada. Do you have an opinion as to what my vacuum is picking up in the photo above? I put it in HCl and it fizzled...

Btw, does the CaCl2 have to be bought from a pool store specifically, or would something like this be OK?

I have already added about 20kg of CaCl2, and I will add more to get it to 200. I don’t think it can be efflorescence because the pool is not in the ground, it is raised to be level with the house, which is on a slope. There is a clear difference between the tiles above the waterline, which are...

So it is possible that I need to add CaCl2 as Pool Math suggests, even though I have calcium scale? Which, btw, occurs everywhere under the water, not just the waterline.waterline.

The Taylor calcium drop test shows a level of 120ppm in my saltwater pool, but I seem to have scaling on my marble tiles. I scraped some off and put it in HCl, where it fizzled, which I am assuming means it is calcium. Would it be possible to have calcium scale with a ppm of 120 or could it be...

I saw an old thread about shipping test kits overseas, but I need some updated information. I could not find a company that would ship directly to me so I bought the Taylor K2006 on Amazon and had it sent to my brother in Florida. Does anyone know the best way to get it to me here in Thailand?

I did the acid test for Calcium Scale and it did fizzle. Does it make sense that I could have calcium scale and still be low in CaCl2?

Here is the initial test from a different company that seems more accurate. I did add the CaCl2 and baking soda and then requested a new test from the second company. It was delayed because they were calibrating their equipment, they said. Then when I got it back, I disputed the results, so they...
