Back then I had zero experience with pools. After the replacer, I was advised to add calcium to the pool. So I dissolved a bunch in a bucket with water and then tossed it in the pool. My pb set my pump on a timer which turns off at night. So the calcium sat there. That’s what the old pictures...

This was the first year. i have a chlorinator. No ionizers, honestly I’m not sure what that is. lol. Actually, i noticed my wife posted pics on my account a few years back. Someone mentioned calcium nodules. Do I need to acid wash?
