We're all volunteer here so it doesn't help us, per se. But keeping the lights on means none of us needs to find a new hobby. Imagine if my new hobby involved running???

Added MA all day yesterday and pH is now closer to a true 8.2, but still too dark. Will continue with MA. Also ordered stabilizer to bring CYA up to 60. Levels today ...

CYA - 40
pH - 8.2+
CH - 300
Salt - 3200
Temp - 62

pH is 7.2 this morning!! Going to wait a few more days to test CYA so will re-test the full range this Friday. Looks like everything is lining up for a MDW official opening.

I would do another acid to drop pool to 7.2. Your TA probably needs to be 50-60 to prevent pH rise, but you have some CSI leeway considering your water temp is still fairly cool. So if you want to take a break and let it warm up, you're in a good spot.

Officially opened the pool this week and turned on the heater. I was surprised the plaster felt rougher on my feet compared to last year. Is it possible this happened because the pH was high all winter? How would I even control this when the pool is closed :ROFLMAO: . All my other levels were relatively fine at opening. From what I've read I'm now stuck with the rougher plaster and smooth no more, without draining / blasting.

TA - 60
CYA - 60
pH - 7.5
CH - 250
Salt - 3400
Temp - 79
CSI - (0.60)
