We will be replacing the cage but if the rusty bolts aren't likely to cause staining on my new pool surface then that project can wait a bit.

Crushed Vitamin C or citric acid doesn't take out the stains. My main question is ... Is it possible for rain water dripping off of rusty bolts to stain a pool?

I'm noticing the bolts in the main beams for the screen enclosure over the pool are rusting. My concern is that these rusting bolts are contributing to the many stains in my pool. I will be having my 34 year old fiberglass pool refinished shortly and if these rusty bolts dripping down on my...

Thanks, I'll try that next time.

For the entire 5 months, the CSI has always been on the negative side.( -.1 to -.35 )

I also keep the CSI negative but this is how it looked at 5 months. Guess I will change my maintenance schedule to 3 months.

Cleaned it today. The numbers on the display are back to normal. Before cleaning, it was displaying about 1000 ppm lower than actual testing of the water in the pool. Now it's back to within 100-200 ppm of actual testing. FYI, the cell holds 34-35 ounces of liquid filled to the top, so 28 oz...

I'm seeing some calcium deposits on the plates so I'm going to clean my RJ30+ for the first time since installing it 5 months ago. I want to mix the acid solution beforehand but don't know how much water the cell holds. My guess is about 2 quarts. Does anyone know for sure. Also the manual says...

Very informative video, thank you!

I heeded all your warnings. Bonding wire is now installed. I remember back in 1992 when the pool was installed, it failed inspection because of a bonding wire issue and I'm almost positive they drove a copper spike in the ground then connected a wire to the spike, handrail and pump motor in...

Thank you John T , I think I now understand that bonding and grounding are two different animals. I'm going to get the materials I need and do that job today.

The voltage that goes to the plates that actually touch the pool water is about 21-22 volts. Can that really hurt you?

Thank you. I guess I just don't understand the difference between the ground wire which is hooked up and grounded in the electrical panel that the SWG is connected to and the bonding wire. Can someone explain that to me please.
