Does anyone have any experience with QuartzCarpet? It’s a treatment to resurface pool decks. I have 24-year old exposed aggregate deck and plaster pool (second owner of house). I’m not sure we are ready to bite the cost of new deck and pool re-plaster. My local company says the plaster looks to...

It appears we are on borrowed time (per my local pool maintenance store who also built our pool). My deck is in rough shape. It's cement with medium-sized river rock as the aggregate (I think) and hard on the feet. The plaster is all stained, I suspect we have leak and the 5-valve in-floor...

Hi! I added some MA to my pool today from an unopened 1-gallon jug. When I opened the jug I noticed the seal was not in the best shape and may have seen a drop or two on the cap threads. The jug had been stored in my garage. Later today, I’m smelling something in that vicinity. My wife says...

My pool has had 3 border tiles fall off in the last 24 hours where the spa flows into the pool (which is how it runs normally unless we switch the valves to "Spa" and recirculate that water. I believe it is simply due to age. We have lived here 10-years and the pool has to be at least 20-years...

I went out to look over my pool this morning to check for frogs (we've ben getting a few swimmers most nights lately) and although I found nothing swimming in my pool, I did find some animal scat. It was mostly floaters near the shallow end but with the breeze it could've started anywhere. I...

Good afternoon, today's test results below. My FC has continued to remain high as I've dialed back the SWG. It is now off so I can hope for the FC to drift down a bit more. It was going down nice and steady then for whatever reason rose despite no change in my SWG. We have had to add what seem...

I am having a hard time reading the pH scale. It seems like the color is never quite right. I am assuming in this case I am either off-scale or overthinking the color match. What's this look like?

Hello! I've noticed my Pool Math Log link from the forum displays my additions in the wrong time zone. I've checked my User Profile (it is correct) and my iPhone app appears to be normal. My Computer is in the matching Time Zone. Attached. you can see the 4-hour discrepancy. Maybe I'm missing...

I've been adding CYA to my pool (based on Pool Math app) and things are coming up as expected. Since I was at 0 CYA, I've needed quite a bit of stabilizer. I used two long tube socks for the first several pounds and then ran across a post that made some sense. Today I've been using 1-gallon...

Hi! I've had a pool for several years and we just converted to salt last year. I've somehow missed this site and have not ever worried too much about testing. I've trusted the strips and kept the tabs in the filter baskets and shocked when needed and my pool was clear. All seemed OK on the Test...
