Hello TFP! Built a new pool and spa last March, 2018. Pool is about 12,300 gallons, chlorine system.
List of equipment:
Pool plumbing and finish:
Water features:
Most recent chemistry:
Now that I have reached a desired level on my CYA, I plan to only use bleach (waiting for last trichlor tab to dissolve).
Couple of questions:
Glad to have joined TFP! Any comments or suggestions will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
List of equipment:
- Filter: Jandy 460 CART Filter
- Pump: Jandy 2.0 Variable speed
- Computer Center: PDA PS6 (pool/spa)
- Jandy PDA controller
- Aqualink Connectivity
- Heater: Jandy JXI400 Natural Gas Heater

Pool plumbing and finish:
- 2 Skimmers
- 5 returns
- 2 Safety main drains
- Pebble pool finish (dark)
Water features:
- Two 18” waterfalls
- Spa spills into pool
Most recent chemistry:
- FC: 2.0
- CC: 0
- pH: 7.7 (having to add ~10 oz of muriatic acid daily to keep it in check)
- TA: 80
- CYA: 40
- CH: 400 (concerned about this high number)
- Borate: 80 (strips dont seem too accurate)
Now that I have reached a desired level on my CYA, I plan to only use bleach (waiting for last trichlor tab to dissolve).
Couple of questions:
- Regarding the pH creeping up on me between 0.10-0.15 per day, could this be due to the new plaster still curing? Too much aeration?
- CH mysteriously creeped up from 350 to 400 in about a month. I have not been using shock (cal-hypo) at all, maybe builder did initially. Maybe due to the new plaster and normal evaporation? I am a bit concerned about being on the high end of the range this soon.
