Thank you all for the help and input so far. It is a quarts finish. Marbletite sapphire. Left the vitamin c on for a few minutes and no change. I'm 100% the stains were not there before the salt. You can almost make out where the salt hit the pool floor and I started to brush away.

Tried vitamin c and nothing. Poured acid on the spot using a pvc no change. Poured chlorine using same technique and still nothing. Here are a few pictures of what it looks like. I'm stating to feel like the salt actually damaged the plaster if that's possible.

Will try today. Thanks again.

PH was 7.8 before adding salt. I've been trying to keep it balanced according to pool math CSI values. Any idea how to correct it?? Will look at links posted. Thank you

I'll take some. Sun hits the pool most of the day and they are not visible then. I'll try to be home today around sunset see if I can get them.

Hi all. Pool just got replastered over a month ago. Yesterday I decided to go ahead and add the salt to charge my SWCG. As always I checked here first and found some posts that members had successfully used the Diamond Crystal pool salt from Home Depot. I went and purchased it and added to...

Hi CubanMike In my opinion the problems are mostly in the hands of the plaster crew and start up procedure used. However I've seen a few really bad looking jobs from different crews using Marbletite. This is my first pool and build so my experience and knowledge is limited but if I was to do...

We have a Pentair colorcascade LED bubbler. My 14 month old loves it and I think it's pretty cool too. When the light is on without water flowing it looks a bit funny but not enough to bother me. Already had it replaced once under warranty because somehow the first one got water in the led...

I had my pool finished in July last year. It was plastered using the same product (Marbleltite) and I have to say mine looks worse than your. And now discovered a crack in the plaster towards the bottom of the pool. Not sure if it's the product or the crew but I've been extremely...

Hi CC. No sweat. That's what we are here for. From looking at your pictures I see our setups are very different. I'm going to start off by stating again that I'm by no means a pro or a equipment guru but maybe we can try some non-destructive options and see if that works. Here we go. On...

thanks Jason. Borates should be going in this week. According to pool calculator i need 23boxes of borax for 29500 gal pool. I need to pick up another 9 boxes and it's going in.

Sure things guys FC. 4 CC. 0 PH. 7.2 - 7.4 TA. 60 CYA. 60 CH. 450 I'm still manually dosing the chlorine because PH still goes up regularly and I know SWG makes PH rise more quickly. As soon as ph stabilizes a bit ill make the switch. Pool is 8 months old. The issue is I'm getting a lot of...

Couldn't find enough info about it at the other forum either. So I'll probably hold off. It's just frustrating because my calcium levels are high (450) and our fill water it's not much better. Getting scale buildup even dosing the pool every other day to keep ph 7.2-7.4. Thanks again for the...

Thanks for the quick response.

Wondering if anybody ever attempted it as decried in this thread: http://www.poolforum.com/pf2/showthread.php/16992-Lime-Softening-to-Reduce-Excess-Hardness-Bucket-Test-amp-Treatment-Process I did the test on the bucket as explained there and the CH went from 450 down to 25. I did a...

Hey CC. First sorry to hear about all your recent headaches ( I'm also following your build). I attached 2 photos and maybe it helps clear up some of your questions. the return valve was added by me and the plumber once we figured that the pump had to run on high for the water features to...

We have a SR Smith Turbo Twister. The slide was installed at the end of the season so it didn't get much use, but the few times we went down it it was super fun. I did the installation myself and it's super sturdy. We did have some issues with the insurance co. Apparently slides, diving...

I play the movies from my MacBook pro, so I stream the audio over an apple airport express to my av receiver. Zone 2 is hooked up to a pair of Definitive Technologies aw6500. They sound pretty good. It's what I use to play music from my iPad all the time as well. if I need bigger sound I put...

We purchased a optoma hd25lv for a projector, rated at 3000 lumens with full 1080p, 3d, and 2 hdmi inputs. For a screen we use an elitescreen yard master 180", which is super nice, even comes with a hard carry case. It's awesome, we've done a few movie nights already and super bowl Sunday here...

I use screenlogic as well. My system allowed for five aux valve actuators after adding the expansion module and I use all five. My spa overflow its a line of its own and it does have an actuator . I actually have three outlets on the bottom of the spa for overflows and 12 jets on the walls (3...

My spa now flows on all sides, its just when in low speed (1200 rpm) 2 spots within a wall don't flow much, Its ultimately your decision but if what you paid for its not what they delivered i would have them fix it. The pentair intelliflo pump comes with 4 preset speeds, and if its hooked up...

Hi CC. We are still pretty warm down here. It was 82 yesterday midday, although water is down in the low 70's. Hopefully you guys start to warm up here soon. PB sent out tile guy who removed about 3 rows of tile in the side that was low, put on some material and installed new tile. It's a...

Thanks Kim. Well give those a try as well. hopefully next year won't be too bad either..

i also have the screenlogic setup and i love it, I use it with the iPhone/ipad apps. responds very quickly to commands and so far i have not experience any connectivity issues. Happy birthday

Great idea zethacat. I will look into a bug zapper and see how that works for us. the candles worked ok but the one time we used them i kicked one by mistake and got wax all over my foot and pavers. Not a big deal but a bit of a clean up..

thank you all.. We don't really have much of a mosquito presence, but we did buy the mosquito repellent candles they sell at home depot. Only used them once. In the terrace we have 2 ceiling fans that push a good amount of air so i guess that helps keep them away. Hey Zethacat how are you...

Shotcrete day is an exiting one. My pool is shotcrete and I still watered it. the curing process generates heat and keeping it moist reduces cracks from dehydration. If you walk in the pool now you'll feel the heat coming off it.

Thanks Kim. It has really been a journey. Sweet CC make sure to keep us updated. Hey dumbcluck the projector is an optoma hd25lv, after some research we were able to use the projector throw calculator and match it to the selected screen size. We are pretty pleased with the picture size and...

One more update since we finished the landscape. Put down new sod, Planted 3 coconut trees and 2 canary palms, installed RGB Led lights to all palm trees and set up a backyard theater. The slide its awesome, but it didn't get much use as the water temp started dropping and we are a bunch...

Outcome???
