Just an update. I’m currently heating up the water. I got to 83 degrees and started treating the water. Ran some muriatic acid with all jets on high. Water features are still weak. I haven’t jumped in yet to make sure all jets are running but they appear to be fine. I took the water...

I started the dichlor/bleach method yesterday. I lowered my TA to 50ppm with dry acid. However when I check my ph it’s around 8. I use a Taylor k2006. Now I haven’t added borates yet as I’m waiting on my bottle of gentle spa to arrive. Will the ph eventually stabilize or do I have some more...
