South Florida Pool & Outdoor Living - STARTUP PHASE
The kiddos had us up at 545 this morning. They must be excited for their party today.
I tested early and here's the results:
FC: 0.5
CC: 0.5
PH: 8.2
TA: 80
CH: 250
CYA: 40
Comparing to the last couple of days, PH has risen from 7.8, chlorine has dropped considerably, and CH has steadily risen. From what I've read, it is common for PH to increase and be at high levels for new plaster pools, but I've also been told that PH under 7.6 is ideal for the first 30 days of plaster. Also, we've been running the spa spillover 24/7 with the pump, so aeration is probably keeping it high. Should I turn it off? I'm guessing it was set that way to clear out all of the plaster dust. Is our level high enough to reach out to our startup guy or should I give it another day? I think he is scheduled to come back Monday.
Also, is it normal for FC to drop so significantly in 3-4 days (from 44 to 0.5)?
