About this episode

Eric Knight explores the impact of water chemistry on natural stones used in pools, particularly marble.

A marble tile line in a pool was etched from the waterline down, which led to Eric researching the composition and geology of marble and other natural stones. Come to find out, most of them are indeed calcium based, and susceptible to acidic damage.
