Been following TFP since I purchased a house with a pool in March of 2016, my 1st pool. Original plaster on pool was 14 yrs old, replastered in Oct 2016 with a company that had top ratings on Angie's List in the Dallas area, had a couple of quotes. Been babying the plaster, checking chems daily, brushed 2x daily, didn't use robot cleaner for 2 months. Noticed some brown material in several areas, like a thin line several months ago. In the last week, most of these have developed into visible, small cracks in the plaster. All on "bottom" surfaces, not walls. One of the cracks is over a foot long. Outside the startup period I used TFP guidelines on PoolMath, pool has always been in limits.
Before I contact the company, would like some input on this please! Anyone recognize? What needs to be done if anything?
Current chem levels;
FC 4.5, combined Cl: 0
pH 7.5 ( usually around 7.7, pool always drifts to 7.7 then I reduce )
TA 80
CH 270
CYA 50 ( started at 20, gradually raised intentionally to reduce chlorine loss, pool receives full sun. Using bleach I must add about 1/2 g a day even at this level )
Borates 35-40
temp 90
Using 12% bleach
Thanks in advance
Regards, Mike
