    Plaster missing

    There are 3 spots I can see like this. I’ve owned the home for 12 years. It is definitely older than that. Time to resurface? What did you go with?

    Plaster missing

    I have a few areas where plaster is missing. How big of deal is this? Am I losing water through those areas? Anything to do? How bad does it need to be to resurface?

    What to do after refilling

    Thanks for replying. The pool was clear and colorless before emptying. I just had a CYA of over 200. I purposefully undershot the pool math guide just to make sure I had my volume accurately. I have more CYA to bring it up. My biggest question I guess is do I really want to bring it to 70-80...

    What to do after refilling

    I emptied and refilled (9 days ago) my 12,300 gallon IG Plaster Pentair Intellioflo Variable speed pool due to high CYA and Calcium levels. I'm waiting for my Taylor k-2006c to come in the mail. I added 2.5lbs of CYA and the pool store tested the CYA level to be 30. I previously used tabs and...
