Had new plaster (Diamond Brite Blue Quartz)/tile installed this spring and finished filling/turned on the pumps Saturday afternoon (5/13). Pump/filter running 24h/day. Test results as follows:
FC:0 CC:0 pH:7.5 TA:280 CH:350 CYA:0 Temp: 66
I have been checking pH and TA, and adding acid to lower pH to 7.2 twice/day. Will my high TA cause any problems for the new plaster? I know there isn't much I can do for it except keep adding acid when the pH creeps up. So far the highest the pH has gotten is 7.5.
I am brushing 2x/day, but not seeing a ton of plaster dust.
I am nervous about not having any chlorine, but also don't want to add it in too soon. Should I add it tonight or wait another day? I would hate for things to turn green on me.
Any recommendations, or am I on the right track? Also, when I add in CYA and chlorine is it OK to use granular CYA and bleach like I usually do?
