Anyone know what the white buildup on the pool coping is? Note, it is not on the pool tile but on the coping.
Any thoughts on removing it much appreciated.

I am still toying with this recurrent issue. I suspect it could be effloresence, not calcium buildup. (Still ir's odd. The pool water was entirely replaced about 7 months ago and the water Calcium hardness is about 395. HIgher than I'd like. The Calium hardness from the hose used to fill the pool is 163.)

Is it a salt water pool? Maybe the water level rose and when it came back down, the salt residue was left behind.

We had a recent rain storm here in southern California. Wonder if that caused it.
You mentioned scale. interesting. The pool chemistry readings are in the right range but I don't think I tested for Calcium level.

Hello Bill - Looks like scale to me. Was the water level up around the coping for any period of time?

Used a pool brush with water and lightly went over the "white" depoits. They came off immediately as shown in this picture
.
Will see if they come back.. Bill
