    Calcium hardness: Which results are correct?

    I have finally corrected my CH level but apparently this had been a problem (before me) and caused scaling /deposits on tiles above the water line - several have even fallen off - are there any suggestions on cleaning this off tiles ... I imagine it will be a fun job...

    Hi from Florida

    Thanks Jacob - You have been very patient... I cannot tell you how many people have told me what valve is what and clearly they didn't know.... My next two tasks are getting scale off the tiles and replacing the spa light - oh and cleaning the octopus screen and building some shade from the...

    Hi from Florida

    Hello everyone - I am new to pool care but already have a check valve change, removed the chlorination (which appeared to be useless and insufficient to keep pool clean) and basic pool chemistry under my belt.
