That's fair, and it leans to the side that this is fear mongering. It is curious that they seem to have support from the ROC now, which calls into question the integrity/validity of the ROC now if they're not doing true due diligence before supporting these claims.

I think it's a bit cost-silly to rip and replace my decking when I could replace my chlorine source. I'm trying to ask a specific question about realistic potential for degradation vs. fear mongering nonsense.

I did consider that, but even though I disclaimed that I'm not a concrete guy, I do know that not all concrete is the same and that the formulas, ingredients, and mixes they use for bridges over salt water are undoubtedly vastly different than a pool shell or decking in my back yard and are...

The topic has been beaten to death... industry "pros" generally have bad things to say about salt pools. My take is that they are not well-informed, they are sensationalistic, and want to sell you very expensive and borderline silly things like UV and other magic sanitizers because they can...

Yeah that's kinda where my question was based.... with rust naturally once it starts it's invasive so even if I dried it out and replaced the seal my concern would be that the rust would persist. If I got lucky and it was just a screw or something that was rusting maybe it wouldn't be that bad.

I have a Pentair Amerilite standard light fixture. I recently had the pool drained and power washed, tile cleaned, etc. After refilling, I'm now noticing what appears to be rusty water inside the light housing. Could the power washing have forced water into the light housing/compromised the...

Is @InyoRob still hanging around?

Hey everyone, is anyone plugged in with the folks at INYO? I think we might have one or two floating around the forum. I see that INYO is now promoting a new brand of pumps and the PureLine stuff is being discontinued. I am curious if anyone can discuss the reason for that? Was there...

Correct, pool is just a basic hole in the ground with water in it. :)

I find myself adding acid every 2 days as I'm always back up to 8.0 very quickly. Just trying to temper that a bit. Yessir, understood. That's exactly what I'm aiming for -- less often.

Noted. Another member was helping me in that thread and posed it as a possibility, as well as that I could be dissolving some scale. He was clearly more knowledgeable than I, so I will take his advice not to deep cycle the pH as aggressively as i was. I don't have much visible scale, but that...

I did see someone else suggested using 4 drops instead of 5, as it made the shade easier to match to the indicator. I don't remember who it was otherwise I would give credit, but I do think it makes the colors a little easier to match up. I had been using the pH test from my K2006 kit because...

Is it a fool's errand to try to lower/maintain a TA of 70 when the fill water is 140? My "ideal" chemistry requires a low TA. I tend to have high pH, so I wanted to slow the pH rise cycle with borates. I wanted to get the TA to a target number before adding the borates. The target chemistry...

Geez, I hadn't gotten into that part of the app before. I'd used it for SWG calculations. That's very helpful, thank you for your advice.
