    trouble with plaster

    I do think some of it is nodules forming, because "bumps" keep appearing as time goes on. Some of it, however, was visible once the pool was filled with water. I think there may be a couple of different processes at play here. I appreciate the references.

    The redo of my plaster (mostly white plaster with very little blue quarts) is very uneven with a lot of places that almost look like bubbles. There are holes in the plaster and a place that looks like rake marks. In full sun it is hard to see, but with the light on at night it looks horrible [I...

    Cause of damage to DE filter

    Is it possible that an acid startup after replastering, followed by acid bath 2 months later could damage a filter so that DE would start leaking into pool just after the acid bath was finished? CH level is now 1000 after acid bath. The material being vacuumed up is gritty and is effervescent -...

    Startup after replanted just not going well - what is this dust on the bottom of my pool?

    I just took apart the filter, which was new last fall, and cleaned every fin. No holes. I don’t know how I could have put it together wrong, but I can’t rule that out. Here’s a couple of pictures. My test kit was 2 years old so I ordered replacements that came in on Thursday. I got largely the...

    Solar Cover in full sun and higher chlorine levels than manufacture will warranty

    I may have acted hastily when I ordered my bubble pool cover because I read it would help conserve the chemicals in the pool. Got the cover, and the warranty is voided if used in over 3 ppm FC. I am keeping mine above 7 to help with black algae treatment. My pool is in full sun and I am in north...
