So no one has encountered this before? No one has answers?

Yea, I did have a Stonescapes expert come by and take examples of water. That was his conclussion which is BS!

Then what is it if it is not from CH? Everything has always looked good except the CH which is always 350 380….My tap from hose is 100 ppm on calcium hardness..

Salt water pool, test by a Taylor kit, 2006 I believe, one with the powder. Also use test strips and Pinch a Penny... Stains are smoother if anything. pool is 75 deg. not 65…Summer it will be roughly 83 to 88….

Chlorine usually 5 to 7 Ph 7.6 Alk 90 Stabilizer 70 Temp at moment is 75 here in Florida. but all these numbers change as you know weekly. But its the average. I failed to mentioned that rep from Stonescapes is the one that came to the conclusion my problem was calcium.

Pool was open May, 2019. Finish is Stonescapes ,small pebbles. Have places that have become lighter in color where the pebbles seem to be diapering or looking smaller from what I was told is calcium build up. Water has always been about 300 to 370 on the hardness level. Water from hose is...

Have a 1.6 HP. I also have a waterfall and a fountain …..I live in hot Florida with lots or rain in summer month. Currently running ten hours a day but Id like to knock that down to eight.

1500 sounds too low! I'm at 2900, 19.500 Gal pool. Will the SWCG stop immediately when the RPM gets too low…Or do you have to go check every couple hours to see if it turned off? Looks like Hayward would have it documented somewhere but I couldn't find it..

What is lowest RPM you can run the pump without problems? 19.5 k Gallons...

You have left no questions to be answered…NJdesp

Why not vacuum yourself once a week instead of buying Crud that doesn't work? I mean unless available time is zero or you are 300lbs and don't want to do a little work. None of these moto cleaners seem worth it.

The ten guidelines for quality pool plaster is a bit much imo. That is guidelines for the person doing the work, not the consumer who has paid a contractor to do the work. i'm not about to stand over my workers and measure the amount of water they are using per batch, etc. They are the...

Have to take what you read with a grain of salt. If you read my first posts here you will see the answers I got vary quite a bit and only one was actually accurate to what needs and is being done. Seems the problematic tile is from Luanda Bay. It also seems to be tile that is exposed to...

Why were you warned about using Glass Mosaic

He said they ran out of material. They did not order enough. They started chipping away under the water line tile and around fixtures once they realized shortage. Been told a couple days of cleaning up and chipping away more from under the tile. Then a bonding agent will be applied and they do...

Yea, he said it was Tahoe Blue...

Too many reflections as stated….Buy I believe the OP is concerned with the blotchiness in the steps. More of peoples missing then anything from what it looks. I wouldn't be concerned if thats it.

Merged threads - mknauss TFP Mod I have faith in my contractor and trust him, but a crew/company he has used for 10 years miss judged on material, first time ever they say. They will cut away under tile line, fixtures, and marking tiles on steps and start over. A bonding agent will be applied...

I installed PSB CS1000 outdoor speakers powered by a Marantz separates. Nice speakers!

Yea I understand stuff happens and I'm not too concerned as long as the end product looks like it should. And as long as this bad application doesn't cause problems down the road. But I did notice the layer on the sundeck is really thick and if the second application will have to be thinner...

Having Stonescape installed I was aware of the different phases of the build, however. Mini Stonescapes was being applied today and next thing I see is crews chipping 2 inches away under the tile at the waterline, around all fixtures, and around tile on steps. The sundeck had a 2sq' section...
