    Test results after ascorbic acid treatment (and one extra stain Q)

    Thanks for your response. Yes, I read and followed that thread for my AA treatment. Just trying to get the next steps right. I also added my pool info to my siggy. :) Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk

    Test results after ascorbic acid treatment (and one extra stain Q)

    Here are pics of the pool tonight. The water LOOKS good (maybe the tiniest bit cloudy)...but it looked good when we got the staining, too. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk

    Test results after ascorbic acid treatment (and one extra stain Q)

    Hi. We've had our pool for about a year. Over the last few weeks we started getting brown stains. After testing with Vitamin C, we knew it needed an ascorbic acid treatment which worked perfectly (on 7/5). We followed it with a chelator the next day. Today we tested the water and here are...

    A chunk of my pool decking just fell off in my pool.

    This just happened. What needs to be done to repair it? Our pool is just over a year old. I have very little faith that my pool builder will even return my text about it. He was miserable to work with...our small, no-frills pool took 6 months to complete. Also, our midnight blue Diamond...

    White rubbery buildup at waterline?

    I don't think so. It wasn't yellow at all. I'm in Arkansas and the pollen had mostly all fallen before we finished thr pool. I should have taken pics. If I see it again, I will.

    White rubbery buildup at waterline?

    Okay. I'll do that. I don't have a recommended test kit yet. I need to order one this week.

    White rubbery buildup at waterline?

    Our pool build just wrapped up about 3 weeks ago. I got in tonight for the first time and noticed a white buildup on the waterline tiles. It had a rubbery feel and came off fairly easily when I rubbed it with my fingers. What was it? Calcium?

    New Construction: Electric AFTER Plaster?

    That's my concern, too. I texted him and asked that (if he had the electrician scheduled for Wed since he's plastering tomorrow) at 8:30 this morning and he hasn't responded.

    New Construction: Electric AFTER Plaster?

    I should add that my paranoia is fueled by an issue that we had with our decking. He didn't measure correctly (or at all) and poured too much. He wanted us to pay the overage even though it was his mistake. We agreed to pay about half ($700), but it left a bad taste in my mouth and some trust...

    New Construction: Electric AFTER Plaster?

    The electrician is sub by the builder. I think he's going to do an acid wash after the plaster? We won't have a heater. It will be a salt system. Thanks, everyone, for the feedback.

    New Construction: Electric AFTER Plaster?

    He will plaster and then want me to pay immediately after. Same day. That's what we've been doing and it has been fine so far, but I'm getting worried now about the fact that we have no equipment for the electrician and so little left to pay. I would have felt better if the electric...

    New Construction: Electric AFTER Plaster?

    Hey, guys. I'm new to this forum and we're currently having our first pool built. and I think our builder is going to give me an ulcer. We started on February 6 and we're still not finished. We did have some snow...and a lot of rain, but we have also had A LOT of wasted days. And a LOT of...
