4,

It looks like a connection fitting for a Pressure Side cleaner.. Do you have a booster pump at your equipment pad?

Edit... I am an idiot.. What was I thinking???

Thanks,

Jim R.

I think the pictures are detailing the surface stains.

Yeah Im talking about the surface stains and if this is something I can fix...I have been out of town and took my water in for testing....showed a ph at 9.0 which is crazy as a week earlier it was a 7.8.....i added some acid and got it back down to a 7.2 in my last test...but concerned with that "circle" and dark spots on my plaster...is this what some call grey mottle?

I at least got a good laugh out of your response. I thought you were just being sarcastic...then I saw your edit.

What test kit are you using? And be very careful trusting the results that you get from a pool store.

OOh!!! I like your idea better... Makes me not as much of an idiot...

To give myself a little slack, we do get people that don't actually know what that plumbing is for...

Sorry, I'm not much of a stain guy...

Ive just been using leslies.....i have a trouble free kit i bought years ago but im sure its bad.....do they still sell that?

The stains are related to the water coming out of the fitting. The black dot pointing to the right is a pressure relief. You can feel the water coming out when the Polaris is on. The water jet lines up with the spot on the wall to the right of the fitting.

I thought that as well ...also have that spot on the bottom of my pool if you can tell in the pic...i took a sample in yesterday to get water tested again...I shocked my pool about a week ago after we had gotten a big rain....so my chlorine is still high and my calcium hardness was a little high but that was it...

results were

FAC 10
TAC 10
CH 410
PH 7.6
ALK 80
CYA 70
TDS 600
MT 0

You really need to get one of the TFP recommended test kits. Read Pool School. Relying on the "kids" at the pool store to do testing is problematic at best.

Does this site not sell a "troublefreepool" kit anymore? someone used to make them and send them out in like a fishing tackle box type setup

You can order a refill set if you still have the kit.
