New to the whole pool scene and maintenance - 9K gal Gunite Pool combo with attached Jacuzzi w/ Spill Over, Waterfall feature and bubblers - Color of Gunite (Plaster) is Midnight Blue and I am having a heck of a time keeping the plaster looking like the midnight blue - Looks to me like there is a white-ish layer of oxidation to it. The Pool is about 5 weeks that we have been using it, and when I take the samples to Leslies, I constantly chasing the pool balance.
FC - 0.71 ( Just below the 1-4 ppm range)
TC - .99 (Within .2 of FAC)
PH - 8.1 ( .1 of the high side of 8 for PH)
ALK - 83
Calcium Hardness - 423 ( Slightly out of the 400 )
Cyanuric Acid - 93
Iron - 0
Copper - .4 ppm ( Range of 0-.2 ppm)
Phosphates - 516 (High - 0-100 ppm range)
TDS - 1400
It seems like I am adding Muratic Acid quite a bit, and Alkalinity up weekly and No Phos as well.
We also have the PURE UV Ozone Generator and the ball is usually in the middle of the range tube (2.5 out of 5 lines) - The chlorine is an auto feeder using Clorox 3" Pucks and I have it on setting 1 out of 5.
I am super OCD and loved the color of the plaster and I have our Dolphin S200 and I also sweep daily and it seems like it is not clearing up. The pool builder sent his guy over while I was at work and he poured Acid ( Don't know what type, as my wife was in her home office working and didn't see him pouring it in) and it seemed to clear up and turned back to the Midnight Blue after a couple of days.
Anyone experience these types of issues? It's diving me insane....
I forgot to mention we are in New Braunfels, Texas and the heat wave has started over the last week and a half in triple digits...
