The information I have been able to gather to date indicates that it would be better to seal the stone with a suitable sealer first,
Not sure on MS, but in CA saltwater is ok as long as there is a measurable free disinfectant available.
Using diatomaceous earth (DE) in a saltwater generator pool is generally not recommended. DE can clog up the filter system, potentially leading to reduced water flow and efficiency. Instead, consider using a compatible filter media specifically designed for saltwater systems to maintain optimal performance and water clarity. Always consult your pool manufacturer’s guidelines for the best practices regarding filtration.
Yes, a sand filter is still needed with a saltwater system to help filter out debris and particles from the pool water. The saltwater system is responsible for chlorinating the pool water, while the sand filter helps to remove contaminants and keep the water clean and clear.
not really, there is bacteria in the pool that can cause your lip to get infected
Most silicon based adhesives will be OK in a marine environment.
You just cannot just start a new pool off with a salt system. As with heating the pool - you have to wait until the plaster ages/sets. Two weeks is the minimum for using the heater and the salt system. Do not rush things or you will be unsatisfied with your pool, the builder and the pool tech if something goes drastically wrong with the plaster. I could give you several chemical formulas for this but would you understand them. In 2 weeks or so the builder or the pool tech will continue with the start up procedure and check to see if your pool is ready for the next phase. If he gives the OK on that area and does the start-up on the salt system he will most likely come back for several days for up to a month to monitor the system to see that everything has fallen into place. k
So long as the chlorine levels in the pool are OK there should be nothing to worry about.
yes
YES!
Not gunnite. Plastic lined MIGHT be OK
If you maintain the pool by keeping it clean as you go you will be better of in the long run as you will not be stuck cleaning a ton of rubbish out of the pool when the season starts. So yes it is ok
We just had this exact problem following a memorial day pool party. Everything was reading perfect on our electronic system and our testing strips. When we took our water in to the our pool lab, they tested for other chemicals that we were not capable of testing. We found that phosphates were present in our pool. We had just had our lawn service out earlier that week. We were told that pesticides, detergents, potting soils and such could all produce this type of problem in the pool. We sprayed our pool with "Revive" and it is perfect and blue again and the readings are still in tact. Perhaps you should ask your lab to test for phosphates. Hope this helps.
