My pool just got resurfaced with pebble sheen and a measure at the water meter during fill up showed it is 14,000 gallons.

I've been following national plasterers council instructions as per directions provided by pebble sheen installer.

After 4 days, I have ph at 7.9, Total Alkalinity at 70, Calcium Hardness at 160 and a SI of 0.1.

Instructions call for TA to be 80. Should I raise my TA with baking soda to 80 before lowering ph with prediluted muriatic acid? Instructions call for pump running 24/7 for 7/10 days which aerates the water and it seems raises ph every day...

Help!
