" Unattended Puck feeders " & the uninformed

[chem geek]

Thanks for the info. You've got yourself a miracle pool! If it were fairly new or newly replastered, then the curing of the plaster would have a rise in pH, but... OK I'll stop trying to figure out why you aren't seeing as much of a drop in ph when using Tri-Chlor tabs nor having your CYA go through the roof like it did in my pool. Must be that Florida sun and rains (I lived in Boca Raton for a year, so I'm jealous that you've still got swimmable weather).

You're very welcome, and sorry I can't help you more! This pool came with the house which was built in 1987! It's in really good shape (the previous owners took very good care of it) and other than the acid wash we haven't had to do anything...but in a couple of years we're going to have to have it resurfaced for sure...meanwhile, I enjoy using it and looking at my sparkling clear water...and I understand the jealousy - we got a pool heater a couple of years ago so we could swim ALL year instead of just 9 months...LOL!
