Hey everyone,
I just recently had my pebble pool filled around April 1st, and I’ve been very diligent about making sure all of the chemicals are in balance (TF-Pro test kit). I’ve noticed some calcium buildup around the waterline tile that I believe started appearing maybe a month and a half or two months after the pool was filled and wanted to know if it’s a cause for concern with the pipes and SWG. I’m not really worried about the buildup on the tile because I can easily clean that. Attaching a picture of what the buildup looks like and will drop my current chemical levels below:
pH: 7.8 (usually hovers around this for a few days then creeps up to 8 before I add acid to drop it back to 7.6-7.7)
FC: 7
CYA: 60
TA: 60
Salt: 3600
CH: 675-700 (couple things on this: 1. Reason this is so high is because my contractor added a bunch of calcium when pool was being filled since the fill water had low amounts of calcium; 2. not sure how accurate this is, been having issues reading this because it’ll turn purple after like 10 drops and won’t turn blue-ish until around 25-27 drops. Tried adding 5 drops of the first reagent first but still turned purple)
According to the CSI calculator, my CSI is around 0.15 at the moment, so seems like it’s within the normal range.
