My pool has new plaster

[eransh10]

Hi all,
I just finished renovating my pool - new plaster (with pebbles in it) and new tiles.
It is currently being filled out with water.
As fas a chemistry - what should I put there? how much CYA.
I have 15k gallon pool.

Thanks for your answers !!!!

There's a pool school article about starting up with new plaster here:

I have only one question - what is sequestrant ?

From a previous post

It keeps metals in the water in solution so they don't stain. Warranties don't cover staining and enough people have metals in their water and they've had enough complaints that it's become a standard recommendation.

As I said, if you don't have metals then it's a useless expense.

Typically, as long as you are on municipal water and are not using a well, metals are not an issue and you don't need sequestrant. If you are worried about metals and metal staining though, you can easily take a water sample up to the pool store and have them test it for you.

If you are on Dallas' municipal water, you won't need a sequestrant.
