Hats off to the Pool School. As our pool is still in the startup phase, we've cleaned the cartridge filter 3 times (Day 2, Day 4, and Day 12 (waited a couple extra days as I added granular CYA)). Less milky white (plaster dus)t this time, but still what I believe are softish scale particles. Noticed an immediate 8 psi drop after cleaning our cartridge filter. (Note to other newbies, it's important to screw the bottom plug before starting the pump back up )
The start-up procedures for our finish recommends an initial quart of Jack’s Magic Metal Solution or Sequa-Sol per 10,000-15,000 gallons of water followed by a second dose after 10 - 14 days and then enough to maintain 10-14 ppm. Although my PB did not add any, I went ahead and added a quart of the Purple stuff on Day two. My thought is to add the second dose but not continue to use it. Thoughts?
Latest Test info:
PH 7.8 (adding 32 oz MA to bring to ~ 7.2 due to PH drift)
FC 6
CC 0
TC 6
TA 110 (down from 150)
CH 400
CYA 50 (will tweak)
Temp 84F
