I cleaned my SWG this weekend with muriatic acid, as the automatic reminder popped up last week. I also replaced all four cartridge filters from my filter (Pentair CCP420). It's the first time I've done it myself (after ditching my pool service earlier this year), but followed all the instructions and had no issues (Salt Cell = Hayward TC-500 and did not seem particularly scaley). Within a couple of days, I noticed large white flakes around the bubblers in the pool and settling on the bottom of the spa. I assume it's excess calcium, but it seems odd to run into that problem after cleaning the cell. Calcium Hardness levels are still reading in an acceptable level according to the TFP app (went from 350ppm to 400ppm after cleaning, but TFP says 350-650 is ideal).
Should I just sweep up the flakes and see if they return, or is there something else I should do to ensure nothing is amiss? Thanks!
