    Light stains around return jets

    I’m seeking advice on some light green stains around my return jets. Nothing major, this was the first year we covered our pool in the off season and I wasn’t as diligent about checking the water condition.

    Deep, stubborn stains in coping, need help

    We're in the process of restoring the decking and coping of our early 80's pool. The coping structurally is in good condition, however, there are deep black stains in most of the stones. Initially, we tried watered-down versions of 10% chlorine bleach and 20% muriatic acid, brushing each in and...
