Add acid with new plaster
Fresh fill after a replaster, builder said to run the pump 24/7 and brush until clear. He added a gallon of chlorine yesterday but said no acid.... I thought I had read here that acid was needed to control pH during the cure time ???
pH is way high - about 7.9-8.0
chlorine is low- no number
TA -120
CYA - 30
He said not to try to chase the chemical for teh first week and then to start focusing on getting them stabilized. I figure a little bleach will be needed for sure.
He's not real quick to offer instructions so I'll try him again in the morning.. Should I add a gallon of bleach tonight to hold it or just wait to see what he says tomorrow ?
Add acid ?
