Hi, guys! I’m new to being a pool owner, and also new on this forum. I hope I’m posting this in the correct category as I was unsure exactly where this fits. I have hopefully correctly updated my signature with all my necessary pool specs. Let me know if you need any further information.
Anyway, while trying to get our chemistry balanced (mainly pH), a large amount of scale has shown up on our pool tile. Most of it came off with diluted muriatic acid and a soft bristle brush. On the stubborn areas, my husband had to use a wire brush to remove the scale. This was a couple days ago. Today, I’m noticing some small rust-colored spots on the plaster below where he used the wire brush (see attached pic for example). 1. Is there any way to safely remove those spots, or are we now just permanently stuck with them?, and 2. What other method can we use going forward to get rid of those stubborn areas?
Thanks in advance for your help!
