Buildup on tiles

[Steve99]

Hi All,

First time poster long time lurker. I have to say this site has really helped me out so thanks to all the contributors.

I was wondering if there is a good / product technique for cleaning the tiles in the attachment?

The pool is new (finished Nov 2020) and has had been balanced according to TFP standards since day one.

So - I don't think I am dealing with calcium scaling more like runoff from the mortar.

Welcome to TFP

That is effervescence from water.. Here is a post from a couple years ago

Start by using Vinegar and going up from there..

New pool - Efflorescence or calcium

Hi there, Hoping someone will have some advice :). Our new pool was finished last summer, so it is less there 6 months old. We have a beautiful back wall built from McGregor Lake stone. Well, we noticed in several areas we are getting a white build up running down from stones on to the tile...

Is you coping a concrete/Mortar block or pour? If so you should be able to spray it with a sealer to slow this from happening.. I am going to be using this.. There are others you can use...

Thank you for the quick response. I will give the vinegar a try this weekend.
