    No. Not until I had a way to prevent them from drinking the pool water.

    Sandy,

    I did not see it mentioned in the previous threads, but you may need to keep adding muriatic acid to keep the pH down with a plaster pool, especially if it is fairly new.

    The calcium from the walls will keep leaching out until the conditions have stabilized.

    Thanks for that reminder Pat. Although the home and pool are new to us, the pool was actually built in 2004-2006 time frame, I think. Sorry if my use of the word, "new" threw you...
