Hi,
I have just finished a pool renovation - new pebble plaster, tile and coping. The plaster was applied 6 days ago, acid washed 5 days ago and finished filling 3 days ago. Chemistry of the water when filling was complete was Cl - zero, pH 7.2, CH 400, alkalinity 150.
Equipment start up was yesterday (finished filling on Friday and first available start-up technician was Tuesday.
I have brushed the pool twice and the water looks mostly clear and nice. However, the chemistry seems nuts and I can’t find any refs to what might cause alkalinity to be >500, CH about 900, pH 7.2, Cl 4
I haven’t added a sequestering agent yet, the start up procedure said it was optional (but recommended) so based on the tests I did on day one I thought I would wait and see.
