we had our 30k gallon pool re-marcited here in Michigan last September. our “builder” / “repair” guy walked us through the process and was very hands on and specific of how to take care after re-marciting: (brush brush brush filter filter filter.) I don’t recall, but I know we did this past his recommended cure time (due to scheduling circumstance). after all of this, we shut it down and closed the pool. We put a large tarp on top of the water after draining below the return jets. then on top we put the safety Loop-Lock cover. works great for 17 years.
this last week, we re-opened. i always pump the clean snow/rain water under the black tarp to start. when taking off the covers and now filtering for clear water in last 72hours we’re seeing some problems…we have a brown stain along the perimeter and some staining on the stairs that hasn’t budged with brushing. we also had quite a bit of plaster “fuzz” on the walls. the robot has picked up quite a bit of residual plaster as well. I can’t accept this as normal. But are there any different things for startup in our scenario of having a recently re-marcited pool that we missed? should we have closed differently? should staining go away w/ time?
any perspective on what’s going on? wife says that there is continued buildup of plaster after robot picks up (I’ll be diving down this pm with GoPro this evening to get better look now that we’re warmed up).
