Thanks for the great advice. I definitely didn't want to paint it if I didn't have to. I think the pool was neglected for some time... so maybe what it needs is just a lot of time and patience. I'm sure it took a while to turn ugly... so it may take just as long if not more to make it pretty...

Thanks for the advice so far. I tried putting the trichlor puck on the stains for about 30 min. I'll try letting it sit for about 24 hours. Thanks for the advice. I think the hardest thing is to be patient. :)

Unfortunately, the trichlor tab didn't have an effect on the stains. :( What do you suggest next?

Thanks for the heads up on the baqua. I planned on replacing the whole system soon anyway. Now I have a better reason. I'll do the trichlor tablet test and report back. Thanks again for everyone's help.

I tell ya. Everywhere I go, that stain follows me. Hahaha. I'll do another water test and post the results. My problem is that I have no idea how old these stains are. They could be 12 years old. Who knows. Can I really get 12 year old stains up? Why couldn't they just have installed a liner or...

It now looks like the filter has stabilized itself, after about 6 cleanings..... but those awful stains are still there....

Before I started the conversion process, my local pool store did a water test and confirmed that there was 0ppm of Baqua in the water. So, I assumed there was no more left in the pool, but I guess even a water sample could be wrong. I also soaked my DE filter in Muriatic acid for about 24 hours...

:cry: No luck. The vitamin C didn't do anything. I might just look into painting it next year. :( On a separate note... or maybe not.... I can't get my filter to stay clean. Again... I have so many variables going on right now. Like I mentioned, I just converted from Baquacil to Chlorine...

I'm assuming that this would determine if a "concentrated" forumla would work or not... correct? Because it would probably take me years to remove the stains using that method ;) Being that the entire pool is covered in them. Also, where would I find such "vitamin C tab"? the stuff I got from...

Hi folks. New to the forum, but I've spent the last couple of days reading posts from this forum, and it sounds like an incredible wealth of knowledge. Here is the background: I just bought a house that came with a 20,000 gal Gunnite pool with a DE filter running Fiberclear. My estimate is that...
