The pool was re-plastered on 03/10 and filled with water. Basically white plaster. 1.5 months later pH is still rising. every day or so I add 32 oz. muriatic acid when it gets to 7.8-8.0. Totals about a gallon a week. I was assuming/hoping that would slow down by now.
From K-2006 kit - FC- 1.5, pH- 7.4, TA- 50, CH- 350, CYA- 30. I will ultimately increase the CYA because 1. it will be a Texas summer and 2. this will be a salt pool (but waiting till things settle down before adding salt). When salt is added I'll follow the recommendations for salt chemistry. For now 2 tabs in the skimmer keeps FC about 1.5.
Is pH rise still due to the new plaster and how long till it slows down? Plaster was on a Friday and pool company did not come back till Monday for startup. Pump was not circulating during that time. Don't know if that had an effect on curing.
