How about a proliferation of calcium nodules, which are steadily increasing in number all around the dang pool....

So tf100 kit came in today, I followed all instructions and here are the results. FC=9.5 cc=0 pH= 7.5 ch= 325 TA=120 cya- 40 Tds-1500 Temp-82 Pool losing 3ppm per day FC approx I suppose I've solved my own problems. Thread closed.

To OP, the pictures of damage you posted is that chunks of fiberglass or chunks of plaster coming off the walls? Generally speaking, how can one determine if a plaster pool is failing and needs to be resurfaced?

Oop my bad! Sorry bout that.

Fyi I picked up a total of 22 gallons of liquid chlorine and only have about 6 gallons left...

I have been slamming for 4 or 5 days now and only today is my water crystal clear. And I mean crystal clear, it's clearer than bottled water.

I haven't read the entire thread so this may have been addressed, but clarifier made my pool super cloudy and let me tell you how big a pain it is to get rid of. It's a huge one! The easy way to tell get a jar of water from pool and look closely with a very bright light. If it's clarifier you...

Ok thank you for the input all. I will purchase a more reliable dpd test kit as recommended and go from there.

Hello all, I have taken over care of a 25k in ground plaster pool with in ground spa. Somewhat recently (before I took over) there was significant algae bloom and when I say significant, you could put your hand in the water and it would disappear. Using the advice gleaned from reading this...
