I've got an inground spa/pool. The pump is probably 60 feet from the spa. The air intake is back by the pump and is "screened" with a 1-1/2" PVC cap with about 10 holes drilled into it. I've unscrewed all the eyeballs to try and figure out what's happening to no avail (I just see a little...

So I've got a 100sf shed that I keep my pool chemicals, my tools, my bikes, some fertilizer and gardening stuff, and a bunch of other random things in. I know enough to keep the acid and chlorine on opposite sides of the shed. Recently I've noticed that everything steel in the shed has rusted...
