Hello,
I have a newly built inground gunite pool since april this year.
starting one month after water fill, I am seeing few brown spots at the bottom and the side of the pool.
I have been checking /balancing chemistry per TFP method using the taylor K2006C test kit.
I followed the recommendation so balanced the water using the liquid chlorine for the 1st month and then switched to SWG pentair IC40.
So far I have six brown spots and they are all scattered. Their sizes are not getting bigger so far.
I took some photos.
Would this be rebar rusting thru? Should I contact my PB?
If it is just surface stain, what do i use to get rid of it? Thanks in advance!
