.76. Seems like scale will form. If i lower the ph to 7.2 then its -.04

Its at 750. Pool math says to replace 28% of my water - that seems extreme. How do i manage the calcium levels more proactively in the future? Is 750 a level that will cause scaling? Thanks

Its stayed at about 8 PH, 60 TA for the last week. Will i get calcium scale if i leave it at these levels? Thanks

I have the TFT test kit. When i get 8 ph I add the amount of acid the pool calc tells me - typically 15 ounces every 3-4 days.

Thank you

My TA drifts down to 30ish as i add acid over time. At those lower levels I don’t have to add acid as often. Why not keep it at 30? What’s the advantage to keeping it higher? Thanks

My new pool is gunnite / plaster.

No. Its a new pool though so it PH creeps up

Ta is 40. PH is 7.2

I’m going on spring break. My PH typicall goes from 7.0 to 8.0 in 4 days. Is it safe for me to bring it down to 6.5ish so I can leave for a week? I don’t want to damage the gunnite or equipment. Thanks!

I manually chlorinate my pool with bleach each day / as needed. The pump is set to run 8 hours but I’m not sure that’s really necessary. Any advice for non salt water pools like mine? If helpful, I live in SW florida, material is gunite, and its 10,000 gallons

Thanks. I think i figured it out. My TA is 80 and the pool math calculator defaults to 0. I need to add more acid

How long after I add acid can i test the pool again? I have a new laster pool and an trying to keep the ph under 8. It was 8.2 6 hours ago, i added the required amount of acid per pool math, and it looks like its still 7.8 (instead of 7.0 like i put acid in for) Did i retest too soon?

Can i brush the walls each day at this point? I know that can help abate algae

Thank you
