    First TF-100 test in new pool

    First TF-100 test in new pool

    I understand now. The pool has vermiculite under the liner if that is what you mean by plaster. So the vermiculite is causing the high pH not the CYA. Got it. The PB still isn't finished as there are a few loose ends to tie up before I get the final bill. I am NOT paying until they are...

    Is the CYA causing the pH to jump up and spike every day?

    First TF-100 test in new pool

    I'll post the results AFTER I give everyone some background from another thread. pH keeps creeping up past 8.2 or higher and the chlorine is obviously non existent. I add 1/2 of a gallon of muriatic acid, wait a few hours, then add 1.5 gallons of liquid shock. Next morning things are where...

    I forgot to respond earlier before I posted the pic. I scored 4 gallons of shock and 1 gallon of muriatic acid for $21.00 at a local chemical company. I added 1/4 of a gallon of the acid and tested the water 1.5 hours later. PH was 7.2. Tested again 2 hours later (just now) and it is now...

    Ah man. I already ordered the kit! Lol. Ill update my profile right now, just couldn't do it on a cell phone. I figured out what BBB meant. :) I don't have all my numbers needed to post because I don't have the kit, but my chlorine is around 1 and my PH is way too high...those...

    Just had a 16'x33' vinyl "sport" pool installed. Enjoyed 1 swim on the evening of the 4th then the clouds opened up. Mud runoff into the pool even though the retaining wall was holding most of it back. But it was a true gully washer. So that is the reason I found your site. Did some...
