We just had a total renovation of our gunnite pool which is 20 x 40. The deep end was brought up
to just 5" and a pebble tec finish was applied along with new coping, new polaris cleaner, new salt
water chlorine injector, new heater, new sand for the filter, etc. The builder put in 12 gallons of
muratic acid after we filled it and it tested off the chart for ph. Way too high. He put in a 25lb
bag of sodium bicarb a couple of days later and then 2 days later a bag of soda ash. I have been testing
a couple of times a day for PH, TA, and Calcium Hardness and using the Taylor Watergram wheel
to try to get ph right. Its now been 7 days and the pool is very cloudy. I brush it and stir up the white
haze which then settles after a couple of hours and coats the steps. Yesterday the TA was at 275 ppm and PH was 8.0 so I added a gallon of Muratic acid. Today PH is about 7.2 but its still very cloudy. We have
been running the pump 12 hrs per day. Any ideas?
