Thanks for the insight. I brush once or twice a week. I’ll ramp this up. Glass forming on the plaster is interesting I’ll research this some more. PB coming to take a look and pick up a water sample.

I’m sorry but you don’t read the posts. I think your comment about being on the edge of an algal bloom and passing an OCLT undermines a lot on TFP. It’s convenient for you to say but it’s a dubious statement at best.

Never mind I’ll ask the pool builder. I doubt that I’m on the edge of an algal bloom. It’s been this way since day one. If I was on the edge of an algal bloom wouldn’t I have overnight chlorine loss??? What parameters would you like me to use to perform said SLAM? SLAM til my pool is clear...

It’s not like a slimy slippery. I liken it to a wet porcelain tile. I did the oclt last night at 8pm and tested again this am 530

I know it’s not. I’m diligent about them chemistry - check the chlorine and pH daily. My water is crystal clear. My pump has been at the same running pressure for weeks. And I’ve passed overnight chlorine tests twice now. My pool builder had me add a product called Beautec after a month. Do you...

Honestly it’s not a big deal. Our landscapers bag the clippings. We LOVE the grass to the edge. No hot surfaces! No skinned knees!! Over the moon with it!!!!

Pool was finished in May. I’ve noticed the diamond brite finish feels kind of slippery. 100% sure it’s not algae. Is this part of the curing process? Still seeing plaster dust and the color has slowly been darkening.

And just like that. I came home and it’s DONE!

I’m a month in w this new pool... what do y’all think I just added more chlorine don’t judge

So far no regrets but it’s only been done a month. We opted not to do a spa as we didn’t think it would get used. We did not do a heater either; we are in south jersey and the water hit 80 this week. We dropped some decent coin on thermal bluestone treads which I like, but, right now am...

It’s not a commercially available mix. The color is a blend that the pool builder put together. He calls it “medium grey”. Don’t know the recipe.

Is this normal?

Hey all. Hopefully this is the right place to post this. Our pool has been done and filled for nearly 3 weeks. I was wondering if the trowel marks, uneven coloration will blend more with curing. Thoughts?

Finished and filled 2 wks ago

This was before 2 cups acid this am. PB told me not to touch calcium hardness

Fertility defects?! Whaat?! Is that on the container??? Fc 5.0 CC 0.0 pH 7.8 TA 90 CH 110 CYA 30 CSI -.21 Taylor 2006C

I bought 45 lbs of proteam supreme plus ?

How does cya contribute?

Just curious as to how the different aspects of water chemistry affect the subjective ‘feel’ of the water?

Pool is super cloudy. Has been getting worse so I decided to slam it thinking maybe in the week the pool has been filled I screwed up and was getting algae. Sent PB a pic of the water. He just texted me - wrong multiport valve! It’s DE! Lol oops!

I’ll check in with them. He seems somewhat particular. They’ve come and collected a couple water samples, photographed the plaster in the past week

So the pool has been plastered and filled for a week now. Got a Taylor 2006C and did my first test this am. How’s it looking? pH 7.4 FC 6.8 ppm CC 0 TA 40 CH 110 CYA 0 Water is slightly cloudy. I think it’s from all the dirt/dust/plaster dust and POLLEN ugh. PB said no stabilizer yet.
