VocalNeal Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Something is leaking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagwain Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Obviously a leak. The residue is either chlorine, calcium or salt. If you don'y have a salt chlorinator then its one of the other 2. If it is chlorine then you are running the ppm way too high. Calcium is a problem in most parts of Thailand. If you are in the general Pats area PM to chat!

Adumbration Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 You will live a long and prosperous life. There is an unforeseen pregnancy in the coming months. Your lucky numbers are 16, 11 and 65. Avoid loud and vexatious people. When the urge to explore bisexual activity arising next month do not suppress it.

If you are in the general Pats area PM to chat! Chlorine is a gas. Chloride is a soluble anion. Most probable cause is calcium deposition. Test by running water over the deposit. If it dissolves, it's salt. If it fizzes when vinegar is applied, it's calcium carbonate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the visible build up of sediment comes from evaporation of moisture leaving the salt and minerals behind to build up until its visible, so it seem like leaks are the culprit, the moisture evaporates and the build up comes over time whatever your chemical levels - but it's a good idea the the pH right, then total alkalinity, then chlorine. I recommend a chlorinator if you don't have one already. PM me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PM me with your pool dimensions & I will select the best machine for your pool and calculate how much start up salt you need..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saanim Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 (edited) I throw a handful of simple chlorine - the one without cyanuric acid - once a week (if I do not forget) in overflow tank where from it is slowly dissolved taken by the pump through the filter into pool. No problem with any residua, nor with algae, they are taken care of by other means. Edited February 4, 2022 by Saanim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
