Rule Your Pool

Calcite Crystals | Calcium Issues, pt. 4

Episode Summary

Eric and Jarred talk about a common pool surface issue faced in colder climates: calcium crystals. Often mistaken for 'scale', crystals actually grow out of the cement as a consequence of cold, stagnant, aggressive water. Similar chemistry causes winter dust, but usually that's with pools that have solid covers and circulation in the winter months.
