    Calcium Spots or Black Alage

    What would you recommend I use to remove? Should I do muratic acid over each spot using a pole and hose? I saw some thread on lowering the TA to 0 and that might help to remove them.

I have had success in the past using a product called Stop Stains, but it requires so much to treat the pool that it is nearly $100 each time. My PH typically...
