I was able to rig up a way to hold a trichlor tablet on the greenish band overnight, and there was no change. I also held a cap full of vitamin C tablets, about six, on the stain for several hours, and again nothing. So far I've tried vitamin C, trichlor, dry acid, and Proteam's Metal Magic with...

Trichlor would probably be easier trying to keep bleach on it. I'll get some. Will also dissolve and add a box of Borax. Thanks.

The rust colored stains are definitely metal. The Vitamin C did nothing, but the dry acid took it off pretty quickly. I picked up some Proteam Metal Magic and tried the sponge test on the dark band around the deep end, waited 5 minutes, reapplied and waited another 5 with no change. I got a bit...

I don't, what's the smallest quantity they can be purchased? I may have noticed some darkening with the vitamin C on a golden colored stain on the top stair, but that stain is quite a bit different than the others that are elsewhere. Is there a way to test if they're Copper specifically? Thanks!

Re: Pool poles that aren't ****? I have the same complaints with my three section collapsible pole. I've been on the lookout for a single or two section pole but haven't found one yet.

Updated photo and question about staining. We've been enjoying the pool since the end of May, getting warmer by the week. :mrgreen: I'm keeping FC between 4 - 6, and other than the process of bringing the TA down (acid/aerate/repeat), it's been surprisingly easy to manage...thanks to this forum...

Can I get one with a cabana girl?

I've kind of been doing that (when I remember). Just retested and wiped between every drop, still 9 drops to bright pink on the [10ml] bracketed test.

I tightened all intake fittings and the bubbles slowed, but I'm still getting a few swirls dancing around under the pump cover. I'm not sure where air could be getting in at this point, unless it's in the plumbing or at the pool. :hammer: Throughout the evening I added bleach, muriatic acid...

Re: Update Update...I'll try to get some new pics soon. Well, before winter the seller had the pool brought up to working condition. It was completely cleaned (drained, washed, and refilled), they installed a new automatic cover, new pump, and new sand filter. They also repaired some leaks...

How about Android? :google:

This will be our first year owning a pool and we're currently in the process of opening. Oh, what have I gotten myself into? :o :-D

LOL :super:

Taking a bath in epsom salts can help draw out fiberglass. I used to do a lot of body work on fiberglass semi tractor hoods, usually grinding/cutting in a t-shirt due to heat/laziness. No, not real smart... I recently got some poison ivy from my equipment area (luckily none on my equipment...

The model is 00617. The only info I can find is here. Which basically says you can find it at Home Depot. Nothing on HD's web site though. I'd sure like one as well, if you're willing to play the middleman. :cheers:

Brentr, Can I get a model # for this please? Just checked my local HD and the were clueless. Maybe it's a regional item. :)

Howdy all, Charles from Indy here. I've been browsing the site most of the day, figured I might as well join and order a TF100 test kit to get started. No real questions yet, just wanted to say hello and document the start of my adventures. My sig will give you a short description of where I'm...
