Well, if the pH was very very high like that all winter that could likely be calcium scaling. Does it feel rough?
Is pool guy coming today to look at pump? You really don’t want to add anything until you can circulate water. You could get some chlorine in there if you use your brush to mix it up. Don’t add chlorine and acid at the same time, wait 30 minutes or so as long as you are mixing the water.
You guys I'm terrified, it looks like something is wrong with the plaster?? is that possible? what could have happened? I'm panicking.
Test results:
Cl -0
Ph 8.2+
salt 1800
CA 275
TA 100
CYA 20 or less.
please help.
I don't see the CH test results unless CA is your CH which has you at 275.
But... before all of that.. Do not panic. Deep breathes.
We are right here to help as best as we can. Let's focus on what we do know for now and keep gathering information to help with what we don't.
Don’t beat yourself up!
Can you scrape a bit off with a fingernail, or is it more of a discolor issue than a deposit of some sort?
I can't tell from the picture if it is pitted or discolored. How would you describe it?
Sorry, yes, I automatically record calcium as CA, but that is CH. I'm trying to relax.

I can't really scrape it off, no. I called the pool store in a panic and he said i may have had a hole or something in my cover and it could be organic staining from leaves and chlorine might clear it up. if not he says an acid wash could help. He told me to dump the chlorine in and hopefully someone can come out today for my pump. he made me feel better and told me not to panic.
appears to be discolored, it doesn't seem rough.
