After the re-plaster we developed big streak marks that looks like white paint was spilled. I've noticed that it started to get more and more noticeable after continuously adding acid to keep the ph balanced. They came and tested the marks to see if it was scale and determined that it was part...

Hi! after trying to find the source of the leak, by letting the pool drain itself, I found that the pool leaks right where the skimmer meets the tiles(not leaking inside the skimmer). After further examination, I've noticed the existing grout is old and sort of detached from the skimmer. What...

I started to let my pool leak all the way to see where the water is draining out from. I narrowed it down to the part between the grout and skimmer. I noticed the old grout is no longer flush (attached) to the skimmer... Could it possibly leak there? the water in the skimmer is still there so...

After a a long poor customer service, they sent a guy that handles warranties and he said he doesnt know what it is. He thinks it might be dust or something that got on it. This streak is very smooth as it it was just part of the plaster...just a little whiter I will ask them if they acid wash...

After the pb replastered my pool, I have these bright white faded streaks which I have noticed only when there is shade over the pool. Direct sunlight hard to see. It starts from the center of the shallow end and run to part of the deep end and stop...as if someone spilled a bucket of paint. No...

I just had my pool re plastered and trying to figure out how perfect the plaster should be. On the stairs, the plaster has a long small bump(like a small flat speed bump) going across the vertical part of each step. Also, around the deep end stairs (the wall steps), is not as smooth as I would...

Hi, I was wondering which one is more accurate. Because sometimes its close but sometimes its way off. For my TA test: The first test I got: TF-100: 70 5 Way: 80 The second test after adding acid (a lot of it because of new plaster and high PH within a 24 hour period): TF-100(taylor):70 5...

Thanks for the help this will make my job a lot easier.

the plaster was recently finished and the PH is rising quickly. I added acid yesterday and was wondering how long before I can retest and refill again? How fast does it take to mix? Its been almost 24hours and the ph is higher at 8.2 Thanks for the input. I'm trying to be strict with the...

Hi i was wondering if I would be able to repair sections of the plaster itself. there are some blistering and some cracks. Is it possible to re-plaster certain sections? The other part of the plaster looks okay except for a few parts. Otherwise if I need to redo the entire plaster...would it...

Im sorry I should have mentioned that the TDS on my non SWG pool exceeded 3000..it was actually more like 4000 or so because the pool hasn't been drained in like 15 years..maybe more? also my CYA is at 100 so I thought it would save more money by doing a drain/refill before my water rates...

Hi, I've decided that I may have to drain the entire pool after testing all the chemicals. No Partial drain. I have an in ground plaster pool, about 30,000 gallons. I'm trying to have this done before the water rates increases next month. My pool has some sort of scaling or rough spots on...
