I scrubbed it with a pool brush and by hand with a chlorine puck. Neither removed it.

Difficult stain..... Last year we had a SWG cell failure and developed an algae bloom...mostly around the top 24 inches of water around the waterline tile. It left a stain. Currently doing the ascorbic acid for iron. That did remove some iron and my brown plastic pool fittings are all white...

Thanks for the feedback. Since the heat exchanger appears to be in good condition, I am taking it to a radiator repair shop to have the leak fixed and pressure tested. Should be much cheaper than a new cupric-nickel at $1500 or a copper at $700. I will see if I can test the NG pressure too.

The yellow flex line is about 24" long and connects the gas. I have a pressure meter, but not familiar with where to take the pressure measurement. I will inspect the gas line coming out of the ground. It's 1.5" metal pipe and corrodes every few years from rain and I replace it.

So thinking the combustion chamber was most likely damaged when flooded, I pulled it apart. Looks like a mess. Any advice which parts to replace and which to keep? I'm thinking new heat exchanger and o-rings PLUS new combustion chamber pan. Thanks, Lee - - - Updated - - - Here are a few...

I removed the lower bolts and about 10 gallons of water drained out. I removed the entire manifold and took some photos. I put my mouth on the copper loops and pressure tested each loop. No leak detected by mouth. Perhaps there is a pinhole leak that I can't detect that way. Other than an...
