new wet edge finish start up advise

[roth79]

Just had my pool refinished with wet edge satin finish last week, its been 10 days and here are my numbers with tft 100.

FC 6
CC 0
PH 7.6
Ta 80
CH 230
CYA 30
Temp florida 82 degrees

It is a salt pool but I am not going to add for 30 days and I did use a few pucks to add some cya and then a little stabilizer powder. Advise on my numbers as I am wanting to add borates again but I will wait till its stable, the above numbers are 10 minutes ago so I am going to add 2 cups MA now. As the advise here the PH is rising daily so MA Daily.

I just set up pump timer as it has been running 24-7 for the last 7 days, and brushing daily.

Any advise on the numbers above please.

Not sure if you know about this link.

You forgot to list the PH.

I think you should wait quite a while before adding borates. At least until your levels get stable. That could be quite a while for new plaster.

LOVE the look of the numbers. It really looks like you have a handle on it!

Numbers look good. The most important thing is to keep your PH 7.8 or lower.

Thank you both.

Its a new Wet Edge satin finish and its looking pretty good. I need to keep brushing to show some more sparkle but its getting there.

What do you think regarding the numbers? I am thinking on raising the CYA to 70 as outlined in pool school for SWG.

Thanks,

Roth

Numbers look great. Yep, raise the CYA and add some salt. Nice work!
