Hello everyone! It's your favorite pool n00b back to pester y'all again ;-)
My plaster looks really nice. There's no stains! But it is rough as heck. Like, scrape your knee rough if you hit the ledge under water or something. Anyway, I was reading this super helpful article and was thinking of doing the no drain acid treatment. Then I read that plaster pools usually last 20 years. This pool was built in the 70's and I *think* it's the original plaster. The previous owners kept good records of most things and I don't see anything about a re-plaster over the years.
Should I just skip the acid treatment and re-plaster since it's old? I can grab a pic of the plaster tomorrow if it's helpful.
Here's my numbers:
CSI: .12
CH: 350
CYA: 50
pH: 7.7 (I use mostly liquid chlorine)
TA: 80
Temp: 84F
