And this would be better than adding Borates to my pool?

And the water backing up is not a good thing?

Yes the booster pump is on the make up line. Would it work if I coordinated the cleaner to only run when the spillway runs? I think there is always water coming thru the cleaner line just not boosted unless it’s running.

There are two automated valves you can see on the picture, the both are open for pool and both closed for spa.

Pretty sure it’s the way my goofy builder built the pool, when the spa runs the valves close and it does not spill over, when the pool runs the valves are open and water still goes to the spa causing the spill way to run. There is no way to stop it currently.

I can not adjust the spill way, when the pool runs the water flows over the spill way. Kinda stinks but currently there is no option to keep the spill way from flowing over when the pool runs

My pool is four years old and i have had the PH issues for awhile, we have a 8' spill way from the hot tub to the pool that runs with the pool runs. I believe this contributes to my issues. I am adding 32 oz of acid every other day to keep my PH below 7.8. Currently my TA is around 60 I...

I had issues with spots in my finish and they drained and did an acid wash. After the wash they used polishing bits attached to a weed eater and buffed the finish to make it smoother. Ended up smoother than the original finish without the spots as well. This could be on option.

So I jumped in this weekend and actually ran my hands along the spots one more time, they are actually as sooth/rough as the pool finish so i am beginning to think its not the calcium scale.

I have a TF-100, and yes I dropped my TA quite a bit in the last few months as part of a test and it has worked. I have a rather lager spill way from spa to pool and the aeration was causing pH to climb daily and I was having to add acid all the time. I dropped the TA down so see if it would...

Yes it is rougher in areas. Theses spots were not there until the last few months. I have brushed and brushed with no luck on them going away. I even spot tested with a wire brush and no change in the small area I tested.

I think I figured this out finally, pics to white spots below. http://s1026.photobucket.com/user/badag98/library/ Numbers from Yesterday: FC- 5.5 PH: 7.6 CYA: 60 TA: 90 CH: 225
