CH of 200 ok?

[Kathleen2252]

Hi.
CH is running 180-200 consistently on 3 wk old pebbletec pool.
Is this level acceptable?
This is from city water.

Should be closer to 300 -- use the CSI we have been discussing in your other thread. A new pool plaster should carry a 0 to 0.3 CSI for the first month or so for best curing.

Month will be up this week
So I guess it's too late
Should I increase it anyway?

 

[Kathleen2252]

Will swg alter CH?

 

[mknauss]

Yes. Long term you want the CH at or around 300 ppm. Going forward it will increase because your fill water has CH in it and you get evaporation and little rain.

Will swg alter CH?

No.

 

[Kathleen2252]

So shall I leave it at 200?

 

[mknauss]

You can. With this summers evaporation, your CH will rise.
