    No suggestions -- it sounds like you are doing exactly what you need, and getting the results you were seeking.

    Just don't get impatient, and start scrubbing the liner, or lower the pH too far -- and I think it will be fine.

    The slower action in the deep end may be due to lower circulation and/or lower temperature. You might try hooking your vac head up and leaving it down in the deep end for an hour or 4 to stimulate circulation. See if you can tell a difference in the immediate area of the vac and other areas.

    Thank you Pappy, I will try placing the vac in the the deep end for a bit.
