Hi! Long time lurker- 1st time poster.
Tfp has helped me so much over the years.
This pool was installed @ the end of April. Rust started about 2 months after install - just the bottom bolts on the service panel then the little “splash spots” on the ss panel itself. The install was a bear & i had to wait 5 days with a 1/2 full pool to get my top jet hooked up (they didn’t realize there wasn’t one in the box) so I couldn’t even circulate water ?. The liner has tons of wrinkles. I am just thankful its dead on level! Anywho, its buried quite a bit on one side so draining isn’t a great option. Is there something i can put on the bolts to neutralize this rust? & then maybe coat them with an inhibitor?
Also its bolted together on the opposite side as well but those look fine.
Its 33ft round, running 2 intex swg,
Fc- 7
Cc-0
ph 7.6
Alk 65
Cya 70
Borates 50
Ch 50
Salt 2700-2800
