I just bought a used jacuzzi yesterday which has a Balboa by HydroQuip control. I found the instructions here and the heater instructions state: Now, my jacuzzi does all of that, except for step 4 only stays on for maybe a minute after which is shuts off and the blower comes on automatically...

FYI someone asked me if I had solved this question so I wrote him back this... My pool was kind of bad off and I was thinking about getting it refinished so I'm getting that done soon so I didn't bother too much with this after decided to go that route. That being said, I tried brushing it...

So the high pH had nothing to do with it? Interesting - given that the spots all appeared at once, I wondering why it would suddenly happen all over the pool. I know we had colder weather for a few days so the temperature of the pool water got down in he lower 50's while normally its been in...

I think your link was shortened HouTex and I can't seem to click it. I did a Google image search for Calcium Nodules and can confirm that the images look exactly like what I have.

Ok, I managed to break some of the stuff off with a screwdrivers,dried it, then poured the muratic acid on it - DEFINITELY fizzled so I guess it means it's calcium? Next steps?

Would they suddenly just form though? I mean the pool hasn't been resurfaced in about five years and then the spots suddenly appeared within the course of two or three days. The only thing that was wrong with the pool (at least to my knowledge at the time) was that the pH was off the scale...

Yes, as I said in my op I did try a pumice stone and pretty much ground the whole thing up and it still did not remove them. As far as the test results, I do not have a test kit myself as I live literally next door to a pool store so I just scooped up some water and took it over there for a...

I can try. Like I said it's hard as a rock. Even with REALLY heavy scrubbing with a steel brush I was not able to remove it. I'll work on it and let you know

Ok, attached are images from my pool. I tried to get pretty close to some of them so you could see what they look like. They are pretty much as hard as rock. The first image shows pretty much how they look all around the pool - kind of like bird droppings on a car window but inside my pool...

So about a week ago I noticed these white things. According to a few sources these are calcium deposits. Admittedly I was stupid and didn't put any acid in my pool for like three weeks so the pH was off the scale. Since then I've drained two feet of water and refilled the pool and then...
