    If you ALREADY have staining, you may want to lift the stains, before using the cal hypo.

    However, you can certainly use the cal hypo now, and then again, later.

    That might even be best, since it seems to take more than one pass, to lift the stains and then get all the metals out of the water.

    Okay. Heading out now to test pH and add borax. The stains are very light. I think by "lifting stains" you mean sequestrate the metals, so I will buy some HEDP tomorrow. If I am wrong on this, just let me know. Otherwise, no need to respond.

    I actually like Atlanta, and the surrounding area. My son interned 2 summers at Georgia Tech and one of us would stay with him in Buckhead for a couple of weeks, then switch off with the other parent. We'd bring our younger one down during the changeover, or all stay there for a week together. Went out to Stone Mountain a couple of times. We didn't see anything like "Deliverance"!

    The sculpture at Stone Mountain is amazing. Borglum left it to go do Rushmore but in the details, I like Stone Mtn. better. You had a sweet deal being able to spend time with your son on his internships -most of us can't take that much time. I have spent time (and paddled) around the Chattooga river; it's a beautiful area as long as you don't start humming "Dueling Banjos"...!
