Hey all,
We just filled the pool a little over a month ago now and with the help of this awesome site, the pool looks great! I am however having to put a half gallon of M Acid in the pool every 2 days. I have read through the site and was kind of expecting to be adding acid for things like SWG, new pebble plaster curing and aeration from the raised spa pouring into the pool. I have since turned down the amount of water pouring out of the spa on the daily cycle so where it just trickles down the face and doesn't aerate nearly as much. So the only things I can think of are just the SWG and new plaster. My question is, with the below test levels, is a half gallon of M Acid every 2 days seem like a bit much or is that normal under the circumstances? If that's normal, should I expect to be using this much M Acid for the life of the pool?
Thanks all!
