Testing tap water before plaster install

[crockettjeanne]

Forgive my ignorance, this is my first time testing water. I have been reading on how to get a successful plaster job and from what I can understand there is a water chemistry piece to the puzzle. I used my new K-1000 test kit I received in my TF100 test kit and followed the instructions. I show Cl/Br at 1 and 5 and the pH at 7.2. Is this good for mixing plaster (pebble fina)? What else should I test. They will use tap water to mix and we will fill the pool with tap as well.

Use the fas-dpd to test the clorine from you tap, for your records test ta and ch and post back here. pH is full e for plaster

Thanks so much for the NPC document. Our pool build has been less than ideal so we will follow along closely.

Here are my results on the tap water for your review...
