I’ve found a nearly free, if erratic source for dry ice and remembered this post: http://www.troublefreepool.com/60-pounds-of-dry-ice-and-a-swimming-pool-t6021.html which tells me that one pound would drop my ph from 7.5 to about 7.25 which I have confirmed.
I want to use dry ice in lieu of muriatic acid when I can, does anyone have any hints or tips? Can I just throw it on the plaster in the deep end or will the cold damage it over time? I’ve already done it three times with no noticeable damage, but hate expensive surpises.
I’m considering fastening to cheap colanders together to create a sort of giant “tea ball†to keep it off of the plaster and shrink the bubbles down to increase the absorption of the CO2…
