I have a plaster pool about 17000 gallons that I had some rebar surface rust staining through. The pool builder came out and drained the entire pool to cut out the 2 pieces of corroded rebar in the gunite. The two areas were patched with new plaster and the pool was acid washed on some areas of staining. Also, the plaster was pressure washed before refilling. The areas are visible since it is a patch but, the pool is 10 years old. I've been trying to get my water balanced for a couple of weeks. I test with a Color Q. I've been loading this pool up with calcium chloride trying to get the hardness up but, Its really not budging. I've probably dumped 60# of calcium chloride and todays test shows CH 250. I'm also having trouble getting PH down. I've been putting muriatic acid in the pool and cannot get it lower than 7.8 I'm following the TFP app to add chemicals accordingly but, I'm not seeing the recovery results as it should be. What could be the problem here? Should I keep putting in chemicals (calcium chloride , muriatic acid) ? I've even tested with another meter and I'm getting similar results.
