    good job! I read this thread after doing a search on 'black streaks' because this is what I noticed in my spa today when I went in. I have a black bottom plaster / Gunite new pool, and water has only been in for 2 weeks now. I think I may be doing something wrong because so many streaks appeared in just a couple of days. I tried using the magic eraser I got at Leslies. When I scrub the streaks some parts of the streak flakes off an then there are parts of the same streak that are more embedded and much more difficult to remote and I don't want to ruin the plaster.

    I will repost w/ test #'s

    just tested my water and my Clorine level is 0 - what is a good level to keep it @? I have been adding liquid chlorine about 2.5 gallons over the two week period and it seems to drop very quickly in this 90F degree weather. The pool plumber came by the day after it was filled to get the filter and pumps working and the next day just to check on everything. He said he will come by in a few weeks to add salt in the pool untill then he told me to just keep adding liquid chlorine.

    The PH is about 7.6 I have added muriated a few times untill the ph was steady.

    The pool is about 15k gallons. here are some pics www.michael.schmidts-online.com
