    Default Re: Plaster is like Sandpaper

    Well Doc, it is what it is. I don't think I want to sand it. We will just have to plan on having it re-plastered. In the meantime I just want to keep the water balanced. We were out of town for the weekend so I checked the water chemistry before we left on Friday. Everything was good except pH. I added 2 pints of acid to bring it down to 7.4. I checked it today (Sunday) and it was back up to 8.0 so I put 3 more pints in it today.

    My K-2006 arrived on Saturday so I used that today. Here are my numbers:
    Chlorine - 1.0 ppm, combined - 0.0
    pH - 8.0
    TA - 110
    CH - 320
    CYA - 90
    The Saturation Index was +0.5 and after adding the acid it should have dropped to -0.05. As you can see I am still chasing the pH. Will I have to keep adding acid several time per week? I can't help but feel that something is causing the high ph but as you can see my numbers all are within acceptable limits. Any ideas?
    Thanks.
