Usually an acid-based chemical is used to clean scale. Vitamin C is usually mentioned because it's very acidic but won't do any damage. There are also special scale brushes for hard surface pools--wire brushes, but you cannot use them on vinyl or fiberglass.

Boy, do I feel dumb and rude!

Welcome to Pool Forum! There's lots here to read, learn, get answers to problems, and maybe play "Stump the Chumps" with a new problem! (STC is from "Car Talk", the radio show).
