Thanks for all the help. Pool is looking light years better. Can see the bottom and am planning my first use this afternoon! It is fairly clear with just a hint of cloudy. Still slightly questioning the chlorine usage, though. Demand is still pretty high! Does 4 dose additions seem normal?

Blue surf in the Pebble sheen

Thanks again. I will do that, I just didn’t know if this was confirmed algae or not. Which, sounds like is also your theory. I figured algae would be impossible this early, but it has been unseasonably warm since starting the fill on Saturday.

Thanks! I do have dry and liquid CYA on hand, but was advised by Pebbletec’s QA department to bring CYA up over a period of at least 3 days and to be careful bringing it up too quickly. It is this product. Guess I should just use 1/3 a jug each day for the next the 3 days? Pool Stabilizer and...

Thank you - I will double check on that. Once full, do I still need to target a calcium hardness of 150?

Hello onBalance! Thanks so much for a great thread. I’ll be getting my pool resurfaced with 50% quartz here next month. Tested our tap water today and the numbers are 50 ppm CH and 460 TA. Would you say to just go ahead and fill up even though pH is 8.2+ or should I try and add some muriatic...
