40,000 gallon gunite pool that was completed November of 2018 it was fine through most of the summer of 2019 then developed this. It is reddish pink in color and a steel brush will not scrub it off ... seems to have hard white nodules under it in places

Pink can sometimes be algae but that would usually brush away. You could rub a chlorine tab on and see if lightens up. If it does, it's an organic stain and can be treated with chlorine.
More often it's a metal stain. You can rub a vitamin C tablet on it and see if it lightens up. If it does, you have a metal stain.
Do you fill your pool with well water?

Have you tried a pumice stone? That may remove the white spots.
