High dry acid usage

[markayash]

Thanks Chris. I used dry acid because it is just easier to handle, that is the only reason.

That was my reason for dry acid also..Had amazon deliver it
Homedepot has it in the paint section but was $10 a gallon..But I went online and did the pickup at store and found 2 gallons of pool acid for $12.
I run my pump 24x7 because I like the water fall sound I have a VS speed pump and run it at 4psi which keeps the fall stream steady

I will do. Thanks for the suggestion. How many hours do you suggest to run the pump a day? I need to set it to 2750 RPM for the automatic pool cleaner to work properly.

Great -- put that in your signature.

Dry acid is Sodium Bisulfate. The Sulfate stays in the pool water. Once it builds to a certain concentration, it starts to destroy your Quartz finish. I would stop using it now. And drain off water at every convenience to lower the level in the pool water.

Thanks a lot for the suggestion. I had no idea. Great I asked. I will update my signature soon.

I think it’s a personal preference. It’s not required but with VS pumps are so energy efficient it’s worth it to me
