    Default Re: Calcium deposits?

    I just went to the Pool $tore for a replacement bag for my Pentair Pool cleaner, and decided to get a water test. Since the post above, I have kept my Alkalinity down between 80 and 90 for the past two months. (quite a feat with the highly Alkaline water supply in North Texas). Well, the Pool $tore said that I needed to get my Alk up to 100 to prevent "etching the plaster."

    Is this real? Should I worry about it? What is the worst thing etched plaster can do?

    The Pool $tore numbers are:

    FC: 9.4
    CC 0.6
    TC 10
    pH 7.1
    Alk 88
    TDS 4700
    Cya 80
    Temp 74
    Salt 4000

    My numbers with the PS234s:
    FC: 11
    CC 0
    TC 11
    pH 7.6
    Alk 80
    Cal 500
    Cya 60
    Temp 65
    Salt 3600
    Do you have any wisdom to share on the Alkalinity and on the variance in the numbers?
