Hi,
I just had our pool opened and closed last season by a reputable pool company...only to find our 10 month NEW pool covered in calcium/ scale????
The company performed a no drain acid wash (8gallons of M Acid )for 4 days and it appears the blue plaster is smooth, however, the blue comes off a little On my hand when I wipe across the plaster, also I am now getting rust or brown spots on the pool floor and when I turned the fountains on the water was slightly cloudy, as if we were stirring up dust. I have been instructed to now add 50lbs of alkalinity plus, 40 lbs of calcium increased, 10 lbs of calcium hypochlorite, 4lbs of stabilizer and 5 bags of ez ph.
My current test results are now-
Cya 48
Total chlorine 6
Free chlorine 6
Total alkalinity 149
Adj alkalinity 135
Total hardness 334
Salt 2900
Now they want me to add
4lbs on ph reducer
2 more lbs stabilizer
2.25 scale inhibitor
52 lbs salt
17oz algae remover
Our pool is swg,de filter,26,000 , blue plaster, shot Crete , IG...
Please help!!!
I plan on order the test kit recommended on this site and taking over the care but I'm absolutely overwhelmed with this process , not to mention the cost already involved. I'm very concerned of the integrity of my plaster now.
I appreciate any advice!
Thanks,
Overwhelmed
