So roughly, efflorescence = Mineral saturated water seeps out through grout and evaporates, leaving the minerals behind. But if that was the case, why am I primarily seeing it in places where water actively flows for 6+ hours a day on the pump schedule? Wouldn't the water wash the minerals...

I'm trying to determine if I have calcium scaling, efflorescence, or what.. and of course then what to do about it. My pool is about 2 years old. Standard in-ground, pebble tec plaster. It has a large tile spillover from the raised spa to the pool. (7' diameter spa, spillover accounts for...

Yeah, I may look into a SWG soon.. I live in Texas and have limestone coping so I chickened out of the SWG and got a Stenner pump to automate. It's hard to determine if there is really a concern with salt/limestone or not, so much conflicting information. But I didn't anticipate plain chlorine...

Has anyone tried these? https://www.restaurantfurnitureplus.com/products/slim-pool-chaise-sun-lounger They are $325 each (when I posted) and only sell in pairs, it seems.

Awesome - thanks guys. So I messed up by having them replace the 2-way diverter valve they previously had on the "spa return bottom" with a check valve. I have a blower pump on AUX1, lights on AUX2, and an electrical outlet controlled by AUX3 into which I plug in a Stenner chlorine pump to...

Pics posted above in POOL mode. It's a Jandy AquaLink RS-PS4 control unit. FWIW - my iAquaLink app doesn't show a SPILLOVER mode on the main screen. Maybe it just wasn't set up.

It's a Jandy AquaLink RS-PS4 PS-4 control unit. I can't get everything visible in a single pic, but here's what the pad looks like. The diagram above should be accurate as well. Thanks!
