Ch now at 300!

Great thanks. Wasn't that hard to find here online

I plan on adding approximately 7 pounds to our 3800 gallon pool . Current ch is 125... shooting for 225 or so. Thanks!

I found this online and is arriving tomorrow. I assume should be correct to raise ch?

Ok thanks for the info. What's also strange here in Vallarta. None of the pool companies sell calcium chloride or even test for ch. With 95% of the pools here being plaster concrete and the city water being approx ch 125, why are there not boatloads of plaster grout problems on the tens of...

One thing that is perplexing me .the fact that in this city everyone (including this house) battles major scale calcium deposits on everything the city water touches, from taps to toilets. So can some more knowledgeable then me explain a low ch reading of 125 with the ongoing scale buildup...

I suspect a similar solution is probable for us as I highly doubt 4 months of 125 ch could cause such damage to pool specific properly cured and installed grout.

So to be more specific...is it possible with a ch of 125 to cause in under 5 months a case where new specific pool grout compound to begin aggressively deteriorating in this fashion?

Hi I'm just trying to rule out csi as source of this problem. I don't think it can be as grout is looking unstable only on a few areas I think more likely is error in mixing/application of the grout. Pool csi number is -0.44 (Target is -0.02). Ta 80 Ch 125 pH 7.5 Cya 50 Fc 6 Any input greatly...

Ha! indeed

Actually 1 border i only fly direct from canada typically but yes you do make a point worth considering. all joking aside could easily be an uncomfortable moment.
