My pool was finished last August, so we had about a month of swim season and are looking forward to a full season this summer. It seems like I can't stop putting muriatic acid in this pool on a daily basis. I've read here and there that this is often the case with new pools (mine is pebbletec, no salt). I'm trying to keep it at 7.4 because I know it will rise throughout the day and sure enough, when I test after the sun goes down it is back to 7.7. I'm putting 20 to 23 oz of acid in a day.
Does this sound normal? Will the pH ever even out?
Here are the latest numbers
pH 7.7
FC 6
CC 0
TA 53 (this is after subtracting about 1/3xCYA per the guidelines in my Taylor test kit)
CYA 60 (but I think it is a bit lower, closer to 55)
CH 600 to 650 (still trying to get this test down - seems like I'm forever putting drops)
Thanks
