Good Morning, I will do my best to make this quick and concise and thanks in advance for any help and advice. I have a new 29,000 gallon plaster, free form pool with large rock waterfall and raised spa. DE filter with 2 1hp pumps. Upon filling exactly 1 month ago I scrubbed plaster 1-2 times a day and have left pump on 24 hours a day. After 2 weeks began running robot vacuum. Adding Muratic acid and chlorine tablets as instructed by the pool company.
I just purchased the recommended Taylor K-2006C test kit and will list my numbers below along with the recommendations from the app. I understand that my Calcium hardness is way low because of the new plaster but the app calls for a HUGE amount of Calcium Chloride to bring it up to recommended level. I was also a bit confused when the app asked which chemicals I would be using. I tried to compare them to what the pool store offers and got way lost. Could someone please look at my notes and point me in what direction in regards to buying chemicals what kind and amounts and treating pool.
One last thing. The pool company is scheduled to come out this week to set up the salt chlorine generator. Thanks in advance for any and all help. Cheers, Erik
