What is the best (easiest) way to solve the bathtub ring issue? There is a fine white line (calcium?) that goes all the way around my tile at the water line. Acid does not seem to clean it very well. Someone suggested bead blasting...do not want to do that!

Our pool is 8 years old, and we have some areas of grout in the spa dam wall (around the tiles) that is worn and flaking out. How do we fix this? Can you simply do an acid wash and then replace the damaged grout? Or, do you have to first remove all of the old grout, then replace with new grout...
