@ Hal – that’s a pretty popular direction to go into and a good one. Soft water generally has substantially lower calcium/TDS counts than city/tap water.

We have a very small pool (3500) gal and the tile around the top of the pool builds up with calcium. My water softener company is telling me to dump the water and refill with soft water. I’m willing to do this but would like to know if anyone has tried this.

Another good way to prevent water loss that is not from a leak, is to put a cover on the pool. Covering the surface with a nonpermeable cover will save lots of water as well as aid in warming the pool.

@Ben: Probably the use of hypochlorite is causing your pool floor to accumulate calcium deposits. Only thing you can do while it is filled is dive and scrub. Otherwise, do the easy thing and drain first before removal.

@cindy: It may scratch the glass so if you don’t want to possibly “repair” the glass, your best choice is to use glass beads blasting (yourself or hire someone).

@Jeri: Use of the acid solution with a brush should damage the marble. If you are really concerned, hire a glass bead blaster.

Comment on Swimming Pool Salt System Review by Ellen

Hey Terry,

I have a Pool Pilot Digital DIG-220. It has been working just fine until today the warning light was flashing stating that the temp sensor was bad and the salt was low. Other checks found that neither was true. The last time I had someone out a fuse was replaced and the serviceman said that it appeared the mother board was showing wear. We talked and he said it might be cheaper to replace the system than an old mother board(maybe 7-8 years old). I would appreciate your opinion. Thanks.

Also another tip… if you find cracks use some milk or food dye in a squeeze bottle and squeeze some out near the crack… if the liquids get sucked into the crack then you know you have a leak.
