    2nd times a charm.......No Drain Acid Wash

    Thank you for your reply. So it sounds like brush x2 or more a day and once the finish looks the way we want then check hardness and if over 400 drain some and refill.

    did you get the photos? I haven’t tried a puck on it but I did use the jacks magic test kit and it reacted and removed the sand like material instantly with their stain/scale remover.
