Yeah different than the normal ones I get. Thanks.

Ive had several calcium deposits that I scrape off but now something different. This is not a regular calcium streak (crack?) Just a weird calcium lump?

ok guys, surprised myself. The RO town water is 100 calcium. I did read someplace that high levels could be from plaster. ...and in central gulf coast Florida we are down about 8" or more from average summer rain. Dry summer. I assumed it was coming from adding water. nope. I test 3x weekly for...

TFTestkits.

I had my pool re-plastered at year. I was only concerned about ph last year. This year, I noticed long white calcium deposits. Finally got around to checking everything, all good except calcium is off the charts! Any options? The calcium comes from the tap water (dishwater has calcium scale)...

Sounds easy, it isnt. I think you would have to rebar and cement in that space ($approx 4,000/per pool company) and then tile with whatever you want. I would have been happy to just replace the 6 glass blocks...

No solution yet, I still think about it contantly. Ill have to do something this winter but no idea of what yet....

...still looking for a solution to my 6 glass blocks. Im gonna have to do something this off season, replace glass blocks , cheap ones at Lowes? I like the plexiglass idea!

Not sure if i trust cement in that opening without rebar but thanks for the ideas. btw, the house came with the glass block spillover...although I did think they were different, sorta cool years ago when I bought the place!

yeah, thats an option I havent thought of. I was thinking using blocks or even rocks since I cant match it.

One company said they would only replace block with a pool resurface, another said they would cement and retile. Im not thrilled with the cement idea with no matching title available. Couple other said no and one company Ive been begging for months for an estimate....

blocks are like 8x8x4" thick but I couldnt get matching tiles several years ago for repair. They are like 20+ year old pattern.

I have several glass blocks that are cracked, water leaks in and have green algea in one of them! i cant find any local pool companies that will replace blocks. Anybody ever replaced them? Ideas for alternatives like rock layers? I thought about just buying a couple concrete blocks/rocks from...

I just downloaded/ installed app. Its different for sure, looks good thou.

ok, wow, maybe Im just losing the battle by under generating, thanks. ...and I thought I had it figured out.

Interesting, I didnt know about that calc, just use the old pool math page. Im running bigger cell, do you think I need to turn it up or maybe even upsize to hold the chlorine level up?

well, Im gonna check out the stenner system as an option. This is year six, just replaced the cell...again. Im running year round down here, 9hrs a day, a bit less in the winter. Pool is never closed. I usually run the generator at 43 percent, that is 25k t9 cell on a little 10,000g pool. I use...

Ive been running a salt system (hayward) for 6 years now, replaced the t9 cell 3x and still cant maintain a algae free pool here in Florida. Everything in pool area has corroded from the salt (although I am less than a mile from gulf). Thinking abut reverting back to fresh. Whats new, any...

...found them on amazon.

I have an old pentair rainbow 320, inline clorinator which constantly leaks. I replaced the o-ring and it seems to be dripping in the pipe joint. I havent used it in years and I just want to remove it from the system. its connected between output pipes going buried into the ground so I cant get...

Yes thanks Matt. Some insight, maybe Im dropping like 10 a month? I just noticed it twice a year when the clorine level doesnt hold. Guess Ill have to run CYA checks and try to find out what it's actually doing. Dont think its my imagination! Thanks guys, if I ever see a pattern, Ill post back...

...what I was trying to find out if anything has changed (re: CYA doesn't disappear, believe me it can... under certain conditions anyhow) maybe somebody discovered something in the last few years. Additional hints, I do have black spots I have been fighting the last few years. I have slammed...

Thats what I had heard, Ive done several bucket tests and even had a pool leak company comes out and check for leaks...twice in the past year. I use a TFT test kit and actually measure 60-80 after I dump a couple pounds of stabilizer in the pool. Test kit works. CYA does disappear in a couple...

nope. Just Florida rain!

I bought this house several years ago, with a green pool. Cleaned up nice. Been a member since then. I remember reading the stabilizer doesn't disappear... well, how do I prove to you guys that IT DOES in my pool! Saltwater with SWG. Its keep about 5ppm FC At least twice a year the CYA...

what? first Ive heard that urine causes "red eye" in the pool, anybody? https://www.facebook.com/inyopools?fref=nf CDC: Red eyes while swimming caused by urine, not chlorine There's a reason why most pools have showers on site
