Just a update to the posts as soon as the TA got down to 120 the pool stopped scaling . It is now sitting at 80 and the pool is crystal clear the PH has calmed down and no large scaling on the salt cell so all good thanks for all the help my friend is very happy with his pool now ?

Thanks again for your advice will stick to just taking care of the TA and keeping a eye on the CSI

Thanks very much for your advice will carry on lowering the TA . would you advise raising the calcium hardness or just leave it as it is and just keep at the TA levels

Thanks very much for your reply the other problem is the fill water from the Bor hole is at 270 measured today .I'm wondering if there is any way to address this problem before adding it to the pool when needed otherwise will be for ever chasing the TA down every time the pool needs topping up .

Hi all I've been trying to help a friend' with his newly built pool .He has a problem with what I'm guessing is calcium scaling .He has had flat plate like build up on his chlorinator cell almost over night. The cell is self cleaning so can just be washed out between the fins but there is a lot...

Thanks for the reply and advice/explanation i will run them on separate timer/feeds seems to make a difference .

Thanks for the help it seems to be working ok run it a total of 10 hours now although i have taken the pump out of the SWG built in outlet and put it on a separate timer now.It shouldn't have got a spike through as the whole house is on a AVR because the electric can be flakey around here but...

part 2 of my answer is the only other chemicals i use are HCL when needed which seems to be about every 3-4 months my PH hits 7.8 so i drop it back down with 2l of acid to 7,5-7.6 the pool generally stays nice and balanced .I also add some Trichlor now and again just to give the FC a little...
