Hey all, I've got a brand new plaster pool and I'm having a heck of a time getting the pH to come down to normal levels. The pool is a month and a half old and I've been using a TF-100 to do the testing. I'll put all the particulars in my signature according to the directions, but I wanted to drop in my test results to get some feedback from the experts.
FC- 0
pH- 8.2+
CH- 175
TA- 130
CYA- 0
Now, I've been putting chlorine and muriatic acid in regularly, but the numbers don't seem to want to come in. Am I missing something?Should I just keep testing and adding chemicals until everything lines up? Just a bit unsure about the next steps. There is a chlorine dispenser hooked up, and I've got tri-chlor pucks in there now to get chlorine and CYA into the pool. I figured I would let it do the work for the CYA and I'll just take it out of the equation once my numbers get to the proper range. Am I off on that? Should I be putting stabilizer in? Thanks for any and all help with this. Later.
