Week 5 of a new 11,150 gallon pools, UV/Ozone with chlorinator setup with white plaster with a Sand filter. Weather has been in the 80s, pool temperature has been around 81-82 lately.
I've been testing PH and Chlorine daily (some days 2x a day to understand my PH and Chorine levels late in the day), monitoring TA and CYA, and Calcium with the TFT Test Kits weekly.
Currently using 3" chlorine tabs, was going to start to add liquid chlorine daily, and maybe turn the chlorinator down to a very low setting with maybe 2 pucks. Adding 12 to 24oz of muriatic acid daily to keep the PH in check.
Attached is the results from the pool store today, my test are close to theirs (Last week I had Calcium higher, and I can't remember what my TA was (nothing was concerning in the levels last week). I'll test again this evening to check against the pool stores results. To maintain my plaster warranty I'm required to have weekly test done by a pool store.
My biggest question now, should I add Calcium Hardness Increaser and TA Increasers (obviously after my own test again), or should I just leave it alone and see how it is next week. Pool is crystal clear with no issues.
Thanks in advance, just trying to wrap my head around all of this.
