Do you think having calcium higher helps?

Did you use the recommended maintenance dose of MM? I did not use any maintenance dose this season. But, since you have the CYA up higher, seems like the maintenance does help. So, I'll try that next season and see how it goes. Or, do you think the non-returning stains were a result of using acid at the beginning of the season? These FG pools are a bit of pain with staining - only drawback though.

Regarding the cloudiness - this was the only time I got it. It might have been coincidental with the use of MM (It started to cloud up about a week after), but the cloudiness was getting worse over the weeks, so maybe it wasn't the MM. But, as stated below, the high Cl returned the pool now to crystal clear. But, lots of stains.

Hey - you were going to see if you could get me the name of the stuff I could use to fill my small chip at the bottom (without emptying). Thankfully, it has not gotten any bigger, so I'm not at all worried at this point.

Anyway, I enjoyed the hot humid day yesterday in the pool. Counting down to closing on the 6th.
