Muriatic Acid

[elominac]

How long will this new pool have a heavy demand for Muriatic Acid? I'm having to put in 24oz to 48oz almost every day. Thank you to everyone for your help. I'm getting more and more confident with the testing and the pool is beautiful. We've been swimming every day, sometimes twice a day.

New plaster can require constant acid use for months until the curing process settles down. Hang in there, pH management will stabilize soon.

Thanks. I guess I'll go to Lowe's and buy a truck load

On another note I alienated the Leslie's store guy. We returned a 30lb pail of Alkalinity Up (aka baking soda) and the phosphorus stuff that they sold me on my first visit before I found TFP... $115.00 worth. Last week I put 4lbs baking soda in the pool for a grand total of $2.25 .

Good job! Soon you'll be driving past the pool store every chance you get, just to

You're lucky they took it back. They probably flipped out a little when you said you'd buy the baking soda elsewhere....and try to tell you *that special pool store baking soda* had magical abilities you won't get with Arm & Hammer. Amirite??

Maddie time for cold beer and excellent pimento cheese sandwiches at Augusta!!
