The house is a rental, pool was in poor shape when we moved in. The plaster is chipped or actively chipping throughout the entire pool and spa. And the white, chalky substance is on every part of the plaster that is submerged (walls, steps, spa, floor bottom). The walls and floor are slick to...

Test results from 4/8 except when noted: FC: 6.5 (4/15) CC: 0 pH: 7.6 (4/15) TA: 80 CYA: 40 CH: 320 Everything is stable except for my pH which fluctuates D/T an attached spa. The TA ranges between 70-80 depending on when acid is added for the pH. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi guys, I have a two part question. When brushing the pool I've noticed a white chalky substance dispersing. Normally, only noticed it when brushing the steps of my plaster pool. Yesterday was the first time we braved the frigid pool temperature, in which we noticed the bottoms of our feet...

Here is a close up of it. It is on the return side of the plumbing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

As the title suggests, my raised spa is losing water whenever the pump isn't running. The level drops to jets but never gets lower than the jets. Of note the water loss occurs more rapidly when the Spa Suction Valve is left slightly open. But even when fully closed off the spa will still lose...

Here's an update: Since Saturday, I've kept my FC between 12-16 and brushed till I was blue in the face! Additionally, I've manually vacuumed and the automatic vacuum cleaner runs daily. Yet the stain still persists!!! I'm not sure why or what it is but I cannot get rid of it. Of note, the...

Okay. So raise the CYA after I get rid of the stain. Too easy. And no, the water temp is 64, a bit chilly for me to take the plunge! So to be on the safe sauce, raise the FC between 12-16 for a few days, until the stain disappears? Also, should I maintain the FC at those levels 24/7 like I...

At first I thought it was an object too. But upon closer inspection, it looks like a stain. Won't move either Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Being a noob, I have some questions regarding if I should SLAM or not. Yesterday and I did a OCLT because I found two places of random yellow stains in spa that would not brush off but would lighten with the application of a puck, the OCLT passed with losing 1.0 ppm of FC and O CC. However...

Last night I noticed I had a yellow stain in my spa (which is attached to my poo) that wouldn't brush off. After doing some research, I placed a chlorine tab directly onto the stain and the stain lightened up. Today, when I checked the stain was gone on that spot but a new spot appeared ( see...

Today, for the first time, when I had my pool in Spa mode only, I noticed water dripping from our air blower. It only occurs when the pool is in full Spa Mode only. Any ideas as to what would cause water leaking from the air blower? We've taken it off, tightened the screws and reapplied but...

Thanks for the feedback. I'll give it a go tomorrow and let you know. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's what I figured and have been doing. I believe I'm getting closer as the discrepancies are getting smaller and smaller. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Renting a house in which the owners know nothing about the pool, including its gallons. I've been using a rough estimate of 16,000 suggested by another forum user, but I am having trouble getting my chemicals straight. The final readings, after adding chemicals according to PoolMath, are always...
