Hello, All ~
We had our inground pool resurfaced 2 1/2 months ago. It is an exposed aggregate finish. It looks lovely, and right after we had it done, the contractor told us that the pH would be hard to keep down. However, after 2 months, we are still having a really hard time keeping the pH between 7.4-7.6. It seems like we are adding about 2 cups every other day. The pH goes down, and then goes right back up again. Our alkalinity has been around 80 or so the last time we checked it.

Any suggestions? Or is this just to be expected for a newly refinished pool? If so, that is fine, we just want to be aware. We thought by now it wouldn't be so bad.

Thanks so much,
Kelly
