Have never had stains like this before. They appeared a few weeks ago - it appeared to correlate with higher than normal PH and then adding acid to lower PH back to normal levels. Right now, FC is 3 and PH is 7.2 They don't scrub off with a brush. I did not think they were algae because...

I had a similar issue with my Dolphin E30. I gave up throwing parts at it and trying to fix it. It was going into its 4th season and we keep it in the water 24x7, so I am guessing it was just time for a new one. The only part left to replace was the motor assembly, but it did not seem wise to...

We have a nearly 30 year old vinyl pool with polymer walls. We didn't build it - we bought the house with it about 3 years ago. Still solid, walls are a bit wavy, but otherwise still looks good and appears to have a lot of life left in it. I would prefer not to have the white thermoplastic...

Almost $10K two years ago, which included a full vermiculite refinish. Would have been about $7K without the extensive work on the floor.
