Strannik Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 To me it looks more like calcium leeching out of the joints, but i might be wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughan Williams Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 To me it looks more like calcium leeching out of the joints, but i might be wrong I have sometimes seen leaks behind the tiles that look like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seahunt Posted August 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Idid raise the calcium hardness from 170 to 220. Does it need to be higher? Thanks for your help.

punkjay Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 I agree with Strannik, it could be calcium precipitation coming out of the tile grout or it kinda looks like salt that has crystallized? you on a SWG, Liquid or Granules? What is it and what do I do? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahunt Posted August 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 No swg. Just liquid chlorine. I raised the calcium hardness from 170 to 220. Is that enough or do I need to do something else? Thanks for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkjay Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 The calcium hardness is ok. Just put a small amount of liquid acid over the scale and it should dissolve. No swg. Just liquid chlorine. I raised the calcium hardness from 170 to 220. Is that enough or do I need to do something else? Thanks for the help!
