Hello All,
Looking for some info to see if I'm doing things right and second to see if this is normal. My pool was built and finished April 2021. It is approx. 25k gallon. I always used 31% Muriatic Acid, but recently changed to Powdered Acid to see if it changed anything and still the same results. The problem I'm having is my Alkalinity is stable between 70-80 , and when I add acid to lower my PH, it holds it down for at most 2 maybe 3 days. My old pool use to stay stable for a week or more at a time. Both of my pools were Salt Water so there goes the theory of Salt raising PH.
So should I take this as normal and if so is it ok only check once a week? Or should I really stay on top of it and add acid every 2 or 3 days?
Thanks!
