Great looking pool, Pat.

After you do this, please let us know some details when you have a chance. I'm wondering about the materials and procedure in case I have to do it next year.

It really concerns me that we took the time to close like we're supposed to and still had problems.

Thanks.

Lenny,

My pool was completed Memorial Day weekend, 2005. The pool company had me keep it open until November so that the plaster could cure. When the pool was opened in April 2006, the opening PH was 8.4, but no problems with the plaster - very nice and smooth. I maintained the water chemistry over the summer last year. The PH keep drifting up, but I expected that with the Salt Water Chlorinator. I just added acid every week to keep it within the range. Pool was closed Oct 2006 and reopened early April this year. Opening PH was 8.2 this year with loads of scale. We do not have a mesh cover. The cover is solid. Still not sure what caused the problem and what I should do.

Pat,
What a beautiful pool you have! Tell me, what is the procedure for acid washing? How hard is it to do?
