ready to bulldoze pool

[muss08]

I didnt even think about that. Good call. As I stated earlier though- replastering the pool wont stop this as the cracks or the areas it seeps through is in the concrete/gunite. Could this be the source of the high TDS? It seems like it would be a HUGE seapage.

I don't know. As you say, to raise the TDS as much as it is that's a lot of seepage. Just multiply out 1000 ppm is 1000 mg/liter = 1 gram/liter and multiply by the number of liters in the pool -- for 10,000 gallons (about 38,000 liters) that's 83 pounds!

well I wrote a response, but it will not post. I can't see anything in it that looks strange. I don't have anything in it like "bet ting"

I was just reviewing pool stuff. I wanted to comment that after my problems last year, I drained my pool and have used pretty much nothing but 3" tablets and liquid chlorine to shock my pool. My pool has been great this year and easy to maintain. Leslies screwed me up for about two years. I still have about $200 worth of leslies stuff that I could not take back. After another little run in with Leslies this year over Taylor Reagents, I will never step foot in a Leslies again.

Thanx to chem geek and others for your help
