Your CYA is likely higher, but that is about as high as a Pool Store test machine can go.

We cannot do much with pool store tests as they are too inaccurate.

Are you just going to keep posting the same problem every year and ignore the advice?
We are wasting our time if you are not going to get a good test kit and begin to follow the recommendations.

Spots on pool
Does anyone know what this is??? Seems like rough holes in my plasterp

How about some historical test results so that we can see where the chemistry has been?
A current set of numbers is only a snapshot and it does not give us a history.
Get a good test kit and post the results and we can possibly help if you are willing to follow the recommendations.

Is that considered etching? Can it be fixed with balancing the chemicals. It feels like it needs to be sanded
wow! Pretty friggin rudeAre you just going to keep posting the same problem every year and ignore the advice?

I doubt it.
You have to identify the stain first to know.

Sorry, not trying to be rude, but you keep ignoring the advice that people give and keep posting the same issue.
People are genuinely trying to help, but we can't if you don't want to provide the necessary information.

You are asking us to diagnose the plaster problem with no reliable chemistry information.
Not really a realistic expectation.
If you had just joined, that would be a completely different story.
However, after 7 years and multiple recommendations to get a good test kit, you should be well aware of how important good test results are.

Some of the spots look like what is referred to as "spot etching", which is generally attributed to the quality of the plaster product or application by some people, but there are some people who blame it on the chemistry.
We would need reliable data on the chemistry from the initial fill to now to really be able to assess what caused the problem.
As far as I can tell, the chemistry is not maintained properly or regularly.
It looks like some copper stains, which can come from a heater corroding from bad chemistry or maybe algaecide or maybe mineral systems.
