Gunite pool heavily pitted over winter

[Poconos]

If your calcium level (Calcium Hardness measurement) dropped too low, calcium will be removed from the plaster surface probably causing your problem.

Or if your PH, Alk, calcium got too high, your might have scaling. Sometimes that can seem like pitting.

To fix it, there are a few choices that I know about:

1) Replace plaster. $$$$
2) Drain and acid wash. Unless you are daring, it requres a professional.
3) Lower PH and alkalinity and brush brush brush. This much like an acid start of a new pool. The idea is similar to 2 but does not require a drain but does require a lot of acid and baking soda. You drop the alkalinity to zero for a few days and brush the pool three to four times a day. Then you add the baking soda to rebalance the pool. Note that this method like #2 will reduce the surface life somewhat but it is much less expensive than #1 or even #2.
