Thank you, will try both.

Hello all. I had the pool refinished at the start of last season, SGM DiamondBrite exposed aggregate quartz finish. Two minor issues: 1) I have noticed some minor staining where leaves and other items accrued in the off season. It is not algae as far as I can tell. Any suggestions for...

Thank you both!

Mind if I ask why only 7.8 for pH?

Thank you!

This will be my third season managing my own pool, and I've done pretty well so far. Only had one algae issue when I left a family member in charge and they disregarded my instructions :rolleyes: Anyway - we had new plaster put in at the beginning of last season. No issues, the pH tended to...

It definitely wasn't yellow, but it was much lighter in pink than anything actually on the block. Wasn't sure if maybe my block faded but I do keep it stored inside. Either way, 7.5 would be within my normal range, so I don't think anything to worry about? I'm still planning to open it early so...

So I finally got around to check the ph this month, it’s quite low. Nothing near where is during the season and definitely not high. Very very light pink, for reference. Nothing that’s actually on my test chamber. So I think that’s good news? I do plan to open very early for the season to monitor.

The more I thought about it the more it made sense.

I do have the pump I keep in during the winter in case the water level gets too high - perhaps I could use that to recirculate water by just putting the hose back into the pool. Is that what you mean by sump pump? Popping off part of the cover is no big deal.

Right that was my concern. At this point we are scheduled to close next week. I guess I could push that off while temps drop.

Thank you! Monitoring pH should't be an issue, just pop part of the cover open. Let' say pH is high in off season - would you treat as normal with muriatic acid, even with pump off?

Refinished our pool earlier this summer with SGM DiamondBrite exposed aggregate quartz finish. New tile and coping as well but I don't know if any details on that are relevant. As I expected, I've had to battle rising pH a bit, but its been manageable. I have a company closing the pool...

I just had my pool refinished, and the company they had manage the water for 2 weeks after plaster did exactly this. I actually removed them and placed in a floater because it seemed wrong to me. This company also tried to sell me on a $160/mo winter water management program.

Thank you, I will do that. Should I plan to monitor CSI through winter then? Or is the product enough to cover me?
