Super! That all makes sense. Will-do. Thanks again!

Did that. It didn’t fizz like crazy, but that might have been because the only acid I had on hand was AcidMagic and maybe the buffering agent in it kept the interaction low. I can go get some stright acid if you want. My numbers are CH-250 TA-100 pH-7.3. FC-2.5 CC-2.0 We use ORP through our...

Hello Gents, For some months, I’ve had this on the bottom of the pool just under the returns from the filter and heater. My local guy says it’s calcium from runing the pump too slow and the water is cooking the calcium out and those are deposits. So we turned up the speed substantially, and I...

I’ll get back with the results. The store did the test and said only that it was “very high”. My kit doesn’t have that test available.

Hello all, I have been enjoying my newly-glass coated indoor pool for awhile. Since I have a Chemtrol automatic dispenser, maintenance has been next to nothing. What I have noticed is some debris in the bottom near the return outlets. After vacuuming them up several times, I had enough to take...

For those wanting to know more about GlassCoat and my project, the contractor did a promo video using my project. Here It is... Those owners wondering about the UV stability, the finisher said that it was designed for outdoor commercial pools. It has UV inhibitors and protection added into...

Thanks all, Yes, being indoor, it will have the most benign of environments. Since I have a good relationship with the applicator, I’ll ask about outdoor pools. I might get a more candid answer since it wouldn’t apply to me anyway. I’ll ask some specific questions in order to answer any member...

I researched all of my possible options. As far as price comparisons, they’re all about the same. They know what a re-plaster job would cost and priced all of them accordingly. I actually don’t have photos because the process was so simple. After I drained the pool, they came in and covered...

For those who might have become tired of my ruminating about my less-than-ideal plaster on my one year old pool, fret no more. I was just as tired myself. Seemed like every time I used the pool, in the back of my mind I knew it wasn’t right and the PB wasn’t interested in addressing it. That...

Hi, brown sounds like iron. When I had stain issues, I called the Metal Magic folks directly and got immediate help from one of their reps. They couldn't have been more helpful in guiding me to a beautiful result. And no, I don't work for them, I promise.
