my new pool is 11 days old. Yesterday was its 7th gallon of acid



Salt & Gunite? Gunite pools have high pH when they are new. Salt pools typically require more muriatic acid to control the pH as well. I don't have salt but my gunite pool pH leveled off after about 6-8 months. I rarely tend to it anymore.

Been a pool owner almost a year now. First few months were great, then ran into high CYA due to the shock I was using, and that sucked. Screws up a lot of your other chemicals, and basically only way to fix it is to drain and refill. Now that I'm past that, haven't had too many issues. I shock about once every couple of weeks, and lately have been adding acid to lower PH some (it seems to slide upwards to). Otherwise, just keeping the chlorine discs in and check chemical readings about once a week.

How often do you guys scrub down all your walls and steps?

Yeah. New Gunite. And it was the fifth. I was wrong. Seems it is leveling off a little. It was a little low last check.
