Hello All,
I'm just trying to get an idea of (normal) chemical (acid) usage. I realize this will change from pool to pool due to size, fill water, construction and so on. I go through approximately a gallon of acid a month for my 17K pool.
My pool is 17K gallons with a SWCG, my TA is approx 80, CH is approx 525, I try to maintain the PH between 7.5 and 7.8 and I do use borates in my pool. I'm happy with the way the pool looks, water clarity is fine. My neighbor commented that our pool looks great, I guess the prior owners didn't maintain the water quality as well as I've done. (Thanks to this forum!)
I guess my bottom line question is 1 gallon of MA normal usage for a 17K pool? Thanks in advance for your response.
Bob
