What kinda pool do you have? Fiberglass/gunite/vinyl?

Do you do liquid chlorine? Is it salt?

DIY, start by buying this testing kit: TF Pro

It comes with instructions on how and when to do the tests.

Take time to go through this website and learn about chemicals you're testing and use it as a resource: TroubleFreePool School

There's a mobile app (Pool Math) you can install on your phone (iOS and Android) where you plug how many gallons of water your pool has, and the results of your test. And it will tell you exactly how much chlorine/acid/baking soda/etc. to add to your pool.

It’s a play pool, no salt, pebble tech. I think it’s tablets and no idea what kind of filter.

Lots of minerals in the water. I took a sample to Leslie’s and they told me it needs to be drained, which I knew already.

I also need to get the mineral deposits off the tile.

Current pool service is minimal, non responsive and keeps going up, so once it’s drained and cleaned I need to decide on either dyi or new service.

It’s great that it’s so pervasive.
