Hello. I can't find an error code this low. They all start in the 100's. Does anyone know what code #40 means? ALso, I don't see the salt reading on the panel in my house anymore. It used to dsiplay the salinity reading but no longer does. Any ideas why or how to get it back? Thanks in advance! Ron

It's on the sundeck..a few areas. I'll try sprinkling an area 1st since now the ph and chlorine are where they need to be. If that doesn't work then I'll just keep doing the sock thing.

Apparently. I have the aa coming tomorrow. Ph is down to 6.9 and chlorine is less than 1. I'm ready this time. Would you recommend I throw it in on the stain again or try the sock method?

Honestly, no and no.

I sprinkled in 8lbs of ascorbic acid. It doesn't seem to have worked. I ordered another 8lb bucket but this time I will place the aa in socks with rocks directly onto the stain several times with hopes that the direct contact will remove it this time, same as my test spot did. I'll report back...

So this morning I put some vitamin C tabs into a sock and smashed them up some. I added a rock and put it on a small stained area and when I went back tonight to look the stain was gone! So what can I do to get rid of the rest of it now??

Yes. It didn't appear to do anything...but I will try again

No one else? I started with a pool company for weekly maintenance. The water is perfectly balanced. The think it is a metal stain.

We did that last year. The stain has lightened slightly but is still present solidly. I tried Jack's stain identifier but surprisingly it did not Id the stain!

Any recommendations?

Ok. But the stains? I had a pool co. Out and they said the water is now balanced. I had added conditioner.

That is the 2nd water test. I can't imaging that phosphate # is right. Last Friday it was 400.

It's a basic test kit. I don't know the name..I've tried the chlorine tab and vitamin c tab tricks. They didn't touch it. Haven't tried acid in a sock yet.

Looks like sand is in the pool, but it's nothing loose.
