Splotchy white plaster?

[ajw22]

Thanks! I updated my signature and set up that schedule as well.

So on another note I tested my water and the readings are:

FC 0.16
TC 0.16
pH 8.2
TA 222
CH 168
CYA 5
TDS 400
Phosphates 290
Iron 0
Copper 0

Where did those tests come from?

You need to test with your own test kit. A Taylor K-2006C or TFT Test Kits

I think the guide mostly talks about the muriatic acid but doesn't talk as much about when to add the calcium.

Guide says to begin adding calcium Day 2.

You do not need to pre-dilute. Slowly broadcast the calcium on the pool surface and brush any calcium that falls to the pool floor.

Be careful if you pre-dilute as calcium is exothermic and can get hot in water and burn you.

Oh I see, I somehow missed that part earlier. Thanks!

I have ordered a Taylor kit online but since it hasn't arrived yet I just went to a Leslies store to get my water tested and those are the numbers they gave me

We have found Leslie tests are rarely accurate or repeatable.

I would not make lots of adjustments based on Leslie tests.
