    Help! Severe calcium buildup.

    Not that I know of. I've contacted a local sand blasting company to give a quote, but I haven't heard back yet. I think a replaster is going to have to happen too. Underneath the worst spots in the deep end corners, I've found a couple of golf ball sized indentions.

    Help! Severe calcium buildup.

    It's been a while since I've been on here. Pool is 20x40x10ft. Short version, muriatic acid won't remove limescale, calcium deposits from pool walls. I don't know what else to try. Back story, the house we bought had been sitting for 2 years when we bought it in sep of '19. The pool was a...

    At what point does it become more cost/ time efficient to drain vs clean?

    I had it tested at Leslie's a few days ago. I don't have the results right off hand, but I remember the cya being at 5 ppm, TC 0ppm, total dissolved solids were 4400ppm, in not sure of the number, but the CH was in range as well as the ph. I agree about the risk, as much rain as we have had...

    West Texas. Our pool is 20ft by 40ft by 9ft at the deep end. We bought our house in September of 2019. The original owner let it not long after he put it up for sale. When we moved in there were frogs and snakes living in it. It's been sitting mostly untouched for at least 7 months. I've shocked...
