    Iron stain issue

    I have Oklahoma Flag stone coping... I developed an iron stain below the tile line on the pebble tech plaster from water dripping down off the stone.. Pool builder used Muratic acid on the stain, but it only made it darker.. Instead of light redish brown stain, it's now almost black.. Any way to...

    liquid bleach instead of pucks?

    Am I reading pool school correctly. I use bleach INSTEAD of pucks? Or is it to supplement/shock as necessary in addition to the use of pucks?

    1 inch tiles vs 6 inch tiles

    Thanks.. I like the 1 inch tile look... Just worried about having to scrub grout instead of tile... And defeintly don't want tiles popping off all the time.. I have several curves in my pool, and figured they would lay down around them better because they come in these mesh backed sections..

    LED or Standard White Light

    ?? PB says the LED's are not as bright, and really work better with the lighter smooth plaster colors.. Not so much with pebble tec, pebble sheen type products.. The white lights are much more powerful, just can auto change colors, but need more of them in a pool
