Hello Gents, For some months, I’ve had this on the bottom of the pool just under the returns from the filter and heater. My local guy says it’s calcium from runing the pump too slow and the water is cooking the calcium out and those are deposits. So we turned up the speed substantially, and I...

Hello all, I have been enjoying my newly-glass coated indoor pool for awhile. Since I have a Chemtrol automatic dispenser, maintenance has been next to nothing. What I have noticed is some debris in the bottom near the return outlets. After vacuuming them up several times, I had enough to take...

For those who might have become tired of my ruminating about my less-than-ideal plaster on my one year old pool, fret no more. I was just as tired myself. Seemed like every time I used the pool, in the back of my mind I knew it wasn’t right and the PB wasn’t interested in addressing it. That...

Hello! My first post (of many, I’m sure). We’ve owned two inground pools, but our latest (9 months old and an indoor pool) is our first plastered pool. My question is how long will I see plaster dust as I do my routine brushing of the interior surfaces? Eight months into it, I still see dust...
