Thanks for the reply - there is no leak, or at least I don’t think so. Pool has been fine and this sealant has been like this for a few weeks!

Fiberglass.

Hi all. Pool return jet caulk has started to come off. I take it I can just drain to below return and seal myself. Any particular type/brand? Thanks!

Mine is fading from water level down. Above water level is perfect.

It seems to be a fairly common issue - and pool manufacturers seem to immediately blame poor water chemistry when that is not the case - especially with us TFP fanatics. I’m at my wits end with it in all honesty. I know it’s just cosmetic but it was a lot of money.

Strap in! 2 year old fiberglass pool. Major fading below water level. Pool shell manufacturer Alaglas came out 6 months ago, tech sanded a small piece of step and said its calcium. Advised me to lower calcium to 0 If possible(?) - my hardness was already low (90ppm) so I found this all suspect...

Hey there, I’m about to start jacks magic on my fiberglass pool. I see it’s a direct spray product rather than an addition to the pool water. I’m draining down to the first step as this also has what I’m told is calcium build up and will work on that first. How was your time with this...

I thought my signature is complete? Am I missing some info? Thanks.

Thanks Texas, I have indeed read your detailed record of your struggle. Thank you. I fear I am in the same boat. Quite can’t believe it - it has only been a year. Manufacturer is sure it is calcium and will be helped by power blue scale which I am starting this Monday. I have always kept my...

Hi all, We have a 1yr old 10,000 gallon SWG fiberglass pool. I am prettty anal with water chemistry, checking and balancing every other day or so using Taylor test kit, and going by the ranges and levels suggested here and in the pool math app. Chemistry has been stable. I drained my pool...

Okay - here are the YouTube videos! Thanks for the help.

Sure - do the video links not work in my post? Thanks.

Hi all, 1 year old 10000 gallon pool and I’m suddenly getting water bubbles from return jets. (Video 1 was filmed at night, apologies for the loud toad!) Video 1 Video 2 So far I have checked: 1. Water is at correct level. 2. Pump basket is seated correctly (no visible air in basket) and...

Thank you, appreciate your help!

Hey there! Thanks for the reply. With the diluted test I get approx 45, so it seems that would tally with the 90 result I got today.

Hi all! I’m pretty anal regarding the pool (10000 gallons) and test daily, I’ve maintained a pretty perfect balance since opening but after a few heavy rains, heavy recent use (kids splashing) and an accidental overfill (forgot I left the faucet in when topping up!) the CYA diluted from 70ppm...

Haha, I think that’s my destiny also. You live and learn I guess!

Hi there, I am having the same issue and I recently put down some milorganite, starting to think some reached the pool steps. Did you manage to remove them? Vitamin C did not work for me.

Hi there. So I have some what I can only assume are rust spots on the fibreglass pool steps (where the robotic vaccum doesn't get to). I brush these daily but had missed a few days. Scrubbing and cleaning do not touch them. I have tried the vitamin c tabs trick (15 in a sock crushed and then...
