Hello, I’ve been using the TFP method for the last year for my pool (new build) and it has worked great for me! My neighbor just finished his pool build and while I was showing him the k2600 test kit and how to use it, he showed me his documents from the pool builder. They recommended keeping the alkalinity at 100 for the first year. I’ve kept mine at 70 and have no issues. Can anyone think of a reason why a higher level would be recommended?
They also suggested not adding calcium for the first three months, which kind of makes sense as I know that initially a lot of brushing is required to make to make the finish move even/uniform and the calcium can heat up and blend into the surface if not mixed fast enough.
The pool builder uses a “Custom blend” for their pebble finish, so it’s not a name brand. Thoughts?
