Great site, I have been reading for a while and would like to ask for some help from the seasoned owners.
We put in a new gunite pool last spring with diamond brite plaster. Our installer advised us to brush frequently which I did over the course of several months. A couple of months after the install was complete the plaster began to scale up quickly with what I assume is calcium. The installer did not have an answer and claimed he had never seen this before. Now the pool is practically 100% covered with the calcium scale, and the installer has committed to acid washing to remove the scale. My concern is that he does not seem to be educated in what caused the original issue and it may repeat. Any advice on where to look or whom I may contact to learn more about this myself so I can ensure this will not happen again?
Thanks in advance
