Perfect timing novca, my new plaster(also medium gray) is finished and the pool is filling. I've been given the Hamilton index acid start-up to follow, 4gal of muriatic per 10,000gal, 15,000 gal pool = 6gal acid. I was thinking that was high("thats how we've always done it" says the plasterer) but looks like its close to what you're doing so I'm good with that. Seeing that you're 5 days ahead of me it will be a great help to me to keep track of your progress, I'm sure I'll have many of the same questions. BTW mine is a re-plaster as well, not a new pool.
couple of questions:
Novca or JasonLion, how do you put the acid into the pool? Is it best to mix the acid with water(acid into a bucket with water) before pouring it into the pool, or is it fine to walk the pool perimeter and pour directly from the gallon jugs of acid?
Novca"
At the end of the 3rd day I added some trichlor pucks in a floater to start gently introducing some chlorine and CYA."
On the direction sheet I have it says if the weather is warm(it is, mid 70s) use a floater with pucks, but the plasterer said "we never do that any more" so...?
thanks,
Brian
