In the notification setting section I see reference to a Mobile App yet I’m not aware of one and the site itself is extremely mobile friendly with the verbose (I’m not a programmer but feel that at least a reason for the platform selection.)

Anyway, just wanted to check and see if there is an app and I’m just missing it (poolmath adide).
 
PoolMath is the only app I'm aware of on here. I see you have your PoolMath logs published, so you should be good to go. (BTW, numbers look good, just keep an eye on that CSI. You don't want it too negative with a plaster pool).
 
Thank you for the feedback. I think the biggest factor there is the PH. I dropped it yesterday as I am traveling for work and based on its natural rise will probably be 7.8/7.9 when I get back Thursday. When I’m not traveling I try to target 7.7 or.8 but manage it daily. That and the TA is about 10 lower than where I want it. All the rain and overflow has reared havoc on my numbers too.

Can’t wait for it to settle. Otherwise I do try to maintain it closer to the zero.

my wife is a clutz so I try to avoid her having interact with the MA. Lol

it also made the ask for an SWG way easier when I told her she wouldn’t have to pour the chlorine I measured out for her while I’m away.

I think you are "overmanaging" your pH. With a TA of 60, it might like to sit at 7.8, 7.9 or even 8. Let it go for a day or three and see where it settles. You may find letting it be where it wants to be will reduce your need to add acid.

I’ll try that, thank you. It typically will climb to at least 8 after a couple of days which is why I’ve started managing it more often shooting for that 7.7/7.8. I assumed it was the new plaster.

My apologies. I missed the new build part. My recommendation was wrong for a new build situation.

Yes, you will have to manage pH on an ongoing basis. pH rise will slow after 6-18 months. Yes, you should continue to reduce it to 7.6, 7.7...

There you go… getting a guy’s hopes all up. No worries, thanks for the feedback regardless.
