Though by no means an expert in pool care, this sounds like a condition in brick and mortar construction known as effluouresence. An internet search on that term will generate some suggestions. I recommend scrubbing with TSP (tri-sodium phosphate)until the problem stops reappearing. ANSWER:
White stuff is most likely calcium carbonate. You may not want to use T.S.P. in your pool. It will take lots of elbow grease and a good pad type tile scrubber found in pool stores. It will not come off right away and will take many applications to remove. Try concentrating on cleaning a few feet at a time, maybe after each swimming outing, using a good tile soap especially made for cleaning tile in pools, until you have gone completely around the pool. You could also try a very mild solution of muriatic acid on the pad but this sometimes makes the situation worse. After you think you have removed a good portion of the "white buildup" then each week religiously clean your tiles with the pad and tile soap. There is a short pole that can be purchased to adapt to the pads. The calcium marks will continue to return because of the lime in the grout.

When building an inground pool do the pavers have to be installed before the completion of the pool or before the final plaster of the pool?
By allmeans install them now! Pool plaster contractors love to track them up with mud plaster and stuff.They cant see it from their house!From A Pool ContractorIn pool construction, the last item to be finished is the interior surface of the pool. This helps to protect the finish as well as allow time for the circulation, pump, filter and heater system installed since you will need to fill and run your pool immediately after the interior finish is applied. To plaster a pool you need to carry in 9000 pounds of bagged white cement, white sand and white crystal powder Then you mix an apply in to the pool surface in one day. It is exceedingly difficult to contain all of the white powder and cement from this process. The good news is that diluted muriatic acid will remove stains on your coping and deck.
