Hi Everyone!
I've been using this forum as a resource for a while but currently going thru an issue that i need help in.
Resurfaced and filled the pool on by Saturday (aggregate finish) and Monday the company performed a 'hot start' / 'acid start up'.
They added approx 3.2 gallons of acid to the 9.2k pool and told me to keep two trichlor tabs to slowly raise the chlorine.
The pool was super clear so i went to my local pool store they used their K-2006 and got a reading of:
TC=0
FC=0
PH 7 (probably lower the owner just said that they don't go lower than 7)
TA=15
CH=250
CYA=20
TD=500
i added 3 LB of sodium bicarbonate 'TA increaser' (diluting in bucket and broadcasting) and 1.5 pounds of CYA (sock method thru skimmer)
also added a small amount of liquid chlorine and broadcast it thru a 5 gallon bucket i would say 16 oz but I'm getting 2-3 PPM in my aquacheck)
right now I'm noticing some cloudiness? probably due to the TA increaser.
should i be concerned? should i just wait and see? is it normal?
