    How to remove stains in pool

    In the photo below, there is a single "dot" stain and then a more organic looking stain around the edge of the drain. Is there anything I can do to treat these?

    Free chlorine and total chlorine both high?

    The only reference I can find is that it suggests shocking the pool (SLAM) if CC gets above a certain level. Is this what you are referring to?

    Free chlorine and total chlorine both high?

    I just started noticing that the total chlorine indicator on my test strips is well beyond the highest color level (should be almost white), but the free chlorine level is also quite high. While the levels appear similar, it might be fair to say that the CC is higher than FC. The water looks...

    Responsibility of PB?

    Your point of view is well taken and I don't disagree with you. However, the $500 offered was for ALL damage (including the damage to my property, not specifically mentioned)--and there are more bricks damaged than what's in the picture. But Dirk is also right (in my opinion) that several...

    Responsibility of PB?

    You're exactly right, HOWEVER the $500 is a good bit less than the actual damages, which is why I offered it as a settlement. Everything together is probably at least $1k, which is what I would end up suing for. I tried to make it easy for both of us just to call it a day and they have the...

    Responsibility of PB?

    You're on the exact path I'm thinking, as well. And, yes, the demand letter that you're describing would be required and likely an affidavit if it got to small claims. And, yes, the cost could easily get up to a few grand for the reasons you mention. And you're exactly right about contractor...

    Responsibility of PB?

    "Landscaping" is stated to "include" trees, shrubs, and grass. It isn't specifically included or excluded. And there definitely was no waiver they signed. I wish they had done that, since this would have probably come up or at least would not come back to me or the PB legally.

    Responsibility of PB?

    Landscaping is spelled out as "trees, shrubs, and grass". I would dispute this as "landscaping" since it is none of those things, can be moved out of the way like anything else that would otherwise be in the way, can be foreseen, and isn't even on my property. They had a survey and know where...

    Responsibility of PB?

    I think it's a few hundred dollars or so. Pic of some of the damage:

    Responsibility of PB?

    I had a pool built recently, and the PB damaged part of my neighbor's property in the process. They also damaged my mailbox and another part of my property. The access to the backyard is close to my property line, and, across that line, were movable concrete borders that are in my neighbor's...
