    Daily test PH........... 8.0-8.2 Chlorine...... 5-10 Not sure why ph went up so much since yesterday. It rained last night and people in pool after tests yesterday. I had the ph going down last few tests. Now it is on the way up again. Muriatic acid time again. Seems I've added it regularly...

    I think the numbers are doing good! I think I may be able to back off chlorine a bit? Will check daily and adjust and keep from going low again. CC is 0, is that OK? Thanks for the help! Any comments or suggestions? PH-7.8 FC-8.0 CC-0 TC-8.0 CH-325 TA-130 CYA-40

    Yesterday added 1/2 gal 25% muriatic acid. No chlorine. Today did daily chlorine test (3-6) and PH 7.5 Then add 1/2 gal 12.5% chlorine. PH and chlorine are where they should be now. Does a quart of 12.5% chlorine per day sound about right to maintain? I'll do all tests tomorrow. thanks
