    PH very high in Salt Water Pool after Winter

    so I assume by bromine is at 0 given I never really added any. Just to raise it to 30 I would need 1024oz of Bromax and 48oz of Muriatic Acid. lmao, I think I will opt out of raising my borates

    Total alkalinity test turns charcoal, not green

    So my TA test seemed to always turn charcoal color first, then green on the next drop. I know most will say its the blue color which happens in presence of high chlorine but I am certain this happens with low and high chlorine. To me this looks like blackish/charcoal color, not blue at all...

    Pressure on Gauge never changes

    The pressure reads about 16, I did backwash it 3 times I think when opening the pool while I shock for the overnight test. I passed the overnight test within 24 hours pretty much every time I opened the pool since I moved in and water remains clear all season (with exception I mentioned...
