Ok. Is it a water chemistry issue?

How do I remove. I really only see it in this area where the spa spills over to the pool

Also I can see where the waterline is leaving a white line in the spa on the waterline tile, not visible in the pool.

My most recent full test results. Thanks for the help TFP.

No, it is water migrating from behind your stone out onto the grout where it evaporates and leaves that white deposit (mostly calcium).

It can be removed with a solution of water and muriatic acid. It can be cured ONLY if you remove the path for the water to migrate by installing drainage behind the wall
