![]() I will say that I saw an application similar to mine, but with different rock, also into a liner pool. Big help I am, huh? I can post a picture it might help. Of course, I cannot recall the type of rock at the moment. I digress, but my point is I don't seem to have any issues. Normal maintenance for me is check the levels weekly (test strips), and alternate between non-chlorine/litho shock every two weeks. Ph and alkalinity levels are not an issue I think once in the past three years I had to add baking soda, though there have been a few times I had to add acid. I keep my chlorine levels low (<1ppm), as recommended by the Nature2 purifier instructions. I do not have any issues with chemical imbalance. I have a rock waterfall that spills into my pool. The customer will have to incorporate adding whatever the specified amount is to the pool at least once a month for the duration of the season, inorder to keep the water from being green or smelling bad. If you do use some sort of rock and it changes the water, chances are that the water has a metal problem and ull need a chemical called metal out(most pool places carry it or something liek it). Just trying to help you out using my pool knowledge.Ive had 8 years in teh swimming pool service and repair business and have incorperated lawn servicing into my business.Any more pool questions please do not hesitate to ask. I do believe that limestone is a pretty much neutral stone but i would check to be 100%. which can also lead to corrosion of any metalic piping in the system(example heaters, back flow valves, metal ball valves etc etc.) I would try to build the exterior of the falls using the rock but make a path using morter for the water to travel through.or go to the local quary and speak to a rock guy about a balanced rock as far as ph and acidity levels are concerned. ![]() Usually a balanced Alkalinty=a balanced Ph but a low Ph is a sign of possibly a low alkalinity. Also the natural ores have a tendancy to contain low ph levels.these low ph levels of the rocks can also lower the ph of the pool and thus affect the alkalinty.Alkalinty is a combination of ph and corrosiveness of the water. which more or less just changes the color of the water and makes it smell kinda bad too. combine chlorine a (corrosive chemical) with anything mettalic and you have oxidation. ![]() Most people use chlorine as a dissinfectant in there pools. All rock, all natural stone contain, natural ores and metals. I think can be of some help here.The answer is YES the rocks will affect the chemical balance of the water.but it is treatable.
