It doesn’t look like that. It’s missing another line I think

It’s hard to tell in this picture, but the pebble tek is supposed to be white (the circle is where the stain solution was) and the pool is covered in turquoise and gray/black patches

Is putting in a heater bypass something that could be a DIY thing, or left to professionals?

The stains are turquoise and black. Last time I cleaned the filters they were blue-tinged. I used the jacks magic stain kit. I used a pvc pipe to direct the powder to part of the stain. In the 30 seconds I had to wait, the stain was completely lifted. With that in mind, do you think it would be...

We have staining in our pool that we assumed was copper. Did the jacks magic stain test today, and sure enough, the copper packet lifted the stain immediately. The copper stains are over the whole pool. From everything I’ve researched, it seems like treating the copper stains goes like this...

Twice in the last 12 months, we have used an algaecide for black algae (recommenced by the pool store) and we’ve used the heater maybe five times in the 2 years we’ve owned the pool. Also, we have a salt cell, but after Hurricane Harvey, the water was so diluted, the pool store recommended...

The pool could pop out of the ground?! Yikes! What is Jacks #2?

We *were* using chlorine pucks and muriatic acid (we are going to switch to what is recommended on TFP)
