Looks like it is at -.69, should I just play with the other numbers on the calculator to see what raises it or is there a prescribed method? Fiberglass manufacturer recommends CH of 350 so I'm assuming it must be of some merit.

Re: Chalky Finish on Fiberglass So this is a problem that I've been trying to solve for over two years. We bought a house with an existing fiberglass pool that the finish has gone chalky. There are small areas of the sparkly blue that exist to drive me crazy, but is mostly covers the entire...

Re: Chalky Finish on Fiberglass Thanks for helping! My numbers today are: pH 7.2 FC .5 cH 250 TA 60 CYA 20 Not sure what happened to all my chlorine, maybe adding the hardness plus caused it to go down. Fixing that and CYA now. My manufacturer recommends 350 CH, so still working on raising...

Researching both of the options you have provided. Thanks!

Thanks. My manual for the fiberglass pool (Blue Hawaiian) recommends a CH of 350ppm. Does that sound right to you?

Thank you so much! I was making myself crazy trying to get them all in line. - - - Updated - - - One more question on the SLAM, do I adjust the shock level to reflect the change in CYA at every test interval? Or stick with the initial shock level when I started the SLAM?

So the pool is open and in the process of a SLAM. Should I be trying to balance the TA, CH and pH all at the same time? Is there an order of precedence to get them in line? I feel like I'm entering into a pool store scenario of having everything I add change one of the other numbers. Please...

:( Thanks for answering!

Anyone have a solution to fix a fiberglass pool finish that has gone chalky white over most of the entire pool?

So it appears my system may need to be replaced due to the controller no longer being manufactured. Any recommendations for the best system to buy that will most easily work with my existing setup? I would like to be able to use the A5 cell since I now have 2 in good condition that are not usable.

The % lights do not come on at all when I try to move the controls, my chlorine is getting lower every day, CYA is at 60.

Forgot to mention that my salt is at 4000ppm.
