My wife thought she was doing me a favor by taking it upon herself to self diagnose some minor stain removal in our pool floor. Anyway, she purchased some vitamin c/absorbing acid (powder) and poured between 3-5lbs. into the water, thinking this would clear up the minor stains. Mind you, she did...

I also wanted to mention that last year I purchased one of those stain identification kits that has the 3 different pouches. I believe one was cobalt and can’t think what the others were. After trying them, I did notice that one, can’t recall which one, lightened the stain. Unfortunately, I...

Here you go. Tell me what you think. Btw, I was just reading someone else's post and the pictures they provided of their plaster looked very much like mine. The advice he was receiving was to lower the ph and drain some water. Had something to do with calcium hardness. Any thoughts?

No. No, it does not

Cartridge filter and chlorinator

Borjis: isnt that what "Stain Free" is?

Is someone able to help me identifying these stains? I just treated with "Stain Free" and also added "Metal Free" with no results. I followed the directions by reducing the chlorine level to 0 and lowered the ph to about 7.2. Brushed the stains and again, no change. Pool is about 23 years old...

I usually take it to my local pool store to test the water. Are there any other chemicals I should be adding as a weekly/monthly maintenance? They usually tell me my levels are good and don’t need anything. Then, I will begin to see some yellow/mustard algae starting

I reside in central Florida and have a in-ground pool. Has a cartridge filter and chlorinator. i usually just treat the water with liquid chlorine and chlorine tablet. Occasionally add some acid. My question is, should I also be adding any other chemicals to the water other than the ones I...

Need some advice. I have a in ground concrete pool. I usually only treat the water with chlorine and acid. I also use the 3” chlorine tablets in the chlorinator. Every now and then when I get the water tested, they’ll tell me to add some alkinty powder. What chemicals should I be using regularly...

Not sure if there is iron in the fill water. I use city water to fill the poll. Will try the vit c and let you know. Thanks again!

Thanks for your advice so far. Can you explain what the crushed up vit c In a sock will do? Am I supposed to scrub on the stains?

Not sure, that’s why I’m looking for some advice. About 1 year ago, I went to my local pool store and told them I had some stains in the pool that I needed to remove. They sold me a kit that had 3 different chemicals to remove stains. I tried the first one, which I believe was called stop stain...

I have an in ground concrete pool that is approximately 22 years old. I have some small little, round stains throughout the pool that will not come out. I’ve tried scrubbing them with a chlorine tablet with no luck. They are about the size of a pea. Secondly, I have some stains, on a larger...

Does anyone have any more input????? (edit by Jim R.)

No, it's not peeling just faded. The cost of paint compared to one of those acrylic coatings is about 1/2 the cost.

I am considering restoring our current pool deck. It is a concrete deck that is painted. I'm considering re-painting, however, just saw a product made by Behr called Granite Grip. Can't seem to find many independent reviews on this product. I also see a product by Olympic called Rescue It. Then...

There must be someone on this site that is familiar with this cleaner that can provide some assistance.

I recently replaced both sides A & B directionals, new tracks and the motor on my zodiac mx8. It seemed to be working properly then suddenly it stopped working. I have it connected to a dedicated suction line which is not clogged and has plenty of suction. It will work for a few seconds if I...
