Circular lesions on pool surface

Postby Dantheman21 » Sun 29 Aug, 2021 09:51

Hello all!

New pool owner here - trying to figure it out.

I noticed over the last 2 to 3 weeks that the bottom and sides of the pool have developed these circular clear/white “lesions.” Upon closer inspection, it almost looks like the concrete surface is eroding? I took a pool sample to the local store: pH normal, free chlorine a bit high at 5 ppm, calcium low (180), total alk low (55), phos high (3000), the rest normal.

Local pool store guy did not know what the problem was, recommended correcting the calcium and observing.

I have pictures, but can’t figure out how to attach them to this post

Any thoughts?
