That's good to know that it's not a problem from the balancing of the water. That's a lot of info in that article 😵‍💫, thanks for sharing. I'm going to have to read that many times to grasp it...lol So it basically means the grout wasn't sealed or the proper grout wasn't used? I do have some...

Here are the pictures. Please ignore the leaves and pollen and those brown things from the oak trees. I'm surrounded by trees and it's been extremely windy the last couple days. Please let me know what you think of the calcium buildup. Thanks

Yes, I get that the different chlorines affects other things but I was thinking I could raise my calcium too. It's been in the 300's for 3 years. Just don't get why I'm getting the build up on my grout all of a sudden. I have had plenty of organics in the pool because it's been windy for...

Thanks for the detailed info!! Would you do 5 again in the center if you could do it again?

Two kids 11 and 8. My husband is about 5’10”. I guess my reasoning for considering 5.5 would be for kids jumping when they become teenagers. But there’s no height in our family, just average height people. Lol

We decided on the sports pool and trying to decide between 5 OR 5.5 in the middle. We are doing 3.5 on one side and 4 on the other. We'll have a hot tub in the middle that our kids can jump off (feet first, no diving of course). It will be a fairly wide pool but only 26' in length (which needs...
