27"x54" aboveground Trevi composite and resin pool. (17000 gallons m/l) Pentair Sand Dollar with 1.5 h.p. single speed pump.
I intend to buy a CircuPool Edge 40 before Dec 1, (in order to achieve the $650. discount) but dont figure to plumb it in and set it up until Spring. That gives me winter to get the water chemistry right before starting up.
I don't drain or cover the pool for winter...just try to keep it balanced and clean. Its easier to keep the pool clean than it is to keep a 27' cover clean....and I cant handle that large a cover by myself.
I have a Taylor K2006 test kit, copper test kit, and phosphate test kit. I will probably start testing again in a week or two unless water clarity says to check sooner, and can post numbers as I go.
I read somewhere that dry acid shouldnt be used in saltwater pool. Does that mean I need to go back to Muriatic Acid for PH lowering, or would it be ok to use up the last several pounds of dry acid and the switch over to muriatic? (7 year warranty on titanium cell).
I hope that someone with experience in this situation ( Pristine to saltwater) is willing to advise as needed.
thank you
