Is anyone familiar with the term Plaster Modeling? If so, is this a normal occurance for newly plastered pools (plain white plaster)?

Does anyone have experience with solar cover for pools with a raised spa with spill over? Do you cut the cover short to allow the water to fall into the pool?

I live in the the DFW area and have been thinking about a solar cover for our pool we recently built. My current high water temperature for today is 81. Does any in my area have any experience with the number of degrees a solar cover will raise the temperature?

I will try the Vitamin E table and report results. I might have mislead lead to the color of the stain but it is brown, not any yellow. The staining started before the salt was added so we can rule that out as the culprit.

So I guess you missed my post about having white plaster.

My pool with white plaster is about a month old. I have noticed when it is overcast that there is a browning discoloration look to the plaster. It looks like there is dirt on the bottom of the pool. When it is bright you don't see it. This started in the shallow end but is making its way to...

When you say a blue finish, are you referring to the plaster color?

I had my water tested and it returned 0 copper. It did have an extremely high (over 2500) phosphate count. I will work on getting the phosphate down. I am still baffled as to the translucent green color. It has somewhat resided when I added more muriatic acid.

I used HTH Sock It Shock 'N Swim (the middle on here http://www.archchemicals.com/Fed/HTH/Products/shock.htm). I added 2 quarts of muriatic acid tonight and will let the filter run for about an hour. Is there an easy way to test for copper or should I bring it by a pool store?

My PH was 7.4 when this happened but I can try to lower it to see if that has any affect. I have added the shock once before with no affect on the color of the water. I have a white plaster pool so it doesn't sound like iron. I was interested if it was a know affect if you add Calcium rise...

I had a CH reading of 125. I added 18 pounds probably a little quicker than I should have. I also added a single bag of shock without about 15 minutes after. The water turned a translucent green about an hour later. Is this something I should be worried about? The water was pretty clear before.

I started up my SWG on Friday and now up to 3200 PPM. I tested the water Saturday afternoon but had 0 chlorine. It was recommend that I try to super chlorinate it for 24 hours. I did but still have 0 chlorine. I pop off the cell and had a bunch of grass in it (another problem I have to...

This is my first post while I have done much browsing so thanks for the good information. I just started up a 28K gallon gunite pool with SWG on Friday. My pool company added 2 gallons of muriatic acid and I have added an addition gallon over the weekend. My pH level is still reading over 8...
