Scale Problem

[cotorassiel]

Well Im screwed now the pump motor went out and the new one is arriving by next tuesday any advice to keep the pool from building scale already bought the taylor kit and did all the tests numbers as of yesterday

Ph 7.0
TA 70
CH 690
FC 3ppm
CC 0

My filter is a hayward 120 sq feet cartridge filter the pump motor was a 1.5 Hp with a SF of 1.1

I do not have any sump pump or a battery operated robot the cleaner I have is a suction cleaner
I intend to brush twice a day and will be maintaining the FC around 5ppm did not test the CYA with the taylor kit but using test strips is around 20

Sorry about the pump..

Keeping the pH around 7 should avoid scale. Since your CYA is probably low, add bleach in the EVENING, at the rate of 1/4 gallon of Walmart pool bleach, or 1/2 gallon of Walmart PLAIN household bleach, daily. If you find your chlorine getting above 5 ppm in the evening, skip that day's dose IF your pool is algae-free.

Oh, and don't swim. Without a filter, the pool will get really gross, even with chlorine present.

But if the algae is under control AND you dose with chlorine daily, your water should be fine till you get the pump replaced . . . if you don't swim, and keep the big trash removed.

Good luck!
