I put in a salt system last year after chlorine prices skyrocketed (fire does that). It is working fine but I have a couple of questions, especially since I am planning a Diamond Brite resurfacing next month:
My pH constantly increases from a "normal" 7.5 or so to over 8, typically 8.2 or so if I let it go a couple of weeks --I try not to and have gone to 3x weekly testing recently. (pool is about 10,000 gallons). I find myself adding muriatic acid every week. My question is can I go ahead and add an ounce or so of muriatic acid daily to try and keep the pH relatively constant? Does anyone have an injection system for muriatic acid that can automate this?
I won't be able to turn on the salt system for 4 weeks after the resurfacing is complete, per SGM. I am concerned a bit about cyuranic acid requirements. Fortunately , as part of the contract the resurfacer is responsible for re-start-up and balancing for the first 2-3 weeks but after that it is mine. What are people doing to add cyuranic acid? I tried the stuff that you add to the skimmer and let it dissolve over time, but is there any way to get it up quickly? Also, I have read on various sites where cyuranic acid levels should be and unfortunately they are inconsistent. Some say 30-50, others say 50-80, So what is the deal?
Any help would be appreciated.
