    New pool start up

    So, I see a color change at 13 drops, the water gets pink. If I and 2 more drops it gets red and will not get more red. Is the correct reading at 13 or 150 drops? TF100 kit.

    New pool start up

    Well TA is still at 130 PH at 7.2 as I put acid in. Running the waterfalls, I guess I need to do this all day to get PH to come back up and TA to drop? Was just concerned with all the plaster dust when running the water falls rather than full suction at drain and skimmer. I guess lowering TA...

    New pool start up

    Pool filled yesterday, start up not until tomorrow, should I be brushing the pebbletec now or wait until tomorrow.

    One, last question, brushing all the plaster without the filter/pump on is not gonna cause it to plate on the tile line? Just want to be sure.

    The builder did not say anything about brushing until start up, but I am reading that I should be brushing from fill up. The issue is the EQ is not running and there are not chemicals as start up is tomorrow?

    Plaster on Thursday, found some rust marks on the surface of the shotcrete

    Well it’s done and filled. Took 18.5 hrs at 10gallons a minute based on the 5gal bucket flow rate. Overall looks good, not happy with the slightly wavy edge on the deep end bench edge, I could not get over to the other side to see during install. Not happy about that but it is what it is, you...

    Disaster averted, it was just a couple tiny iron rocks in the mix. All good! Bring on pebble tomorrow!
