Filled the pool with well water,added bleach, pool tuned black with all the iron in the water,let the iron settle to the bottom and vacuumed it outside waste,used test drops for ph and was7.6,added salt,test strip says ok,installed salt generator late in the day next day salt generator plates are covered in white scale.total alkalinity is very high according to test strips.i read one of the forum posts that said you didnt have to worry about TA in above ground pools but started areation on pool anyway.ph has gone above8.4and muriatic acid at double the amounts is not bringing ph down.Pool water is very clear ,I add bleach every night, but i want the SWG to operate correctly is the TA being so high causing my problem with scale build up or am i missing someting else?Used vineger to clean the plates but its happened again.Where am i going off course I am not a chemist so i need guidance please!
