I have a new 2007 tiger river Bengal and have had it since Feb. There is a white-ish stain just above the water. I take a soft sponge to it but it reappears. Any sugesstions?

I don't know what it is but I have the same problem. I use bromine and was wondering if that was it. All levels seem to be OK. After I wipe mine down, it takes several day s for it to appear again. Is this just part of routine maintenance?

I would think it's just oils, lotions, etc coming off of the bathers in your tub. I get a ring around my tub every once in awhile as well. Mainly only after I have company in the tub, typically female. They make products such as Defender from Liesure Time that help break up the matter before it causes a ring. There are also these things called scum balls, that float around in your tub, that capture the oils. I personally just scrub it off with a Magic Eraser after I add a dose of dichlor. This is one of a few reasons why I shower 95% of the time before I soak.
.......................Or it could just be a hard water stain? :-/

I have always showered before my soak...that's what makes this white stuff so puzzeling. I'll have to watch and see how soon it returns after I wipe it down and how many times I've been in it.
