    Help...my test results are all outa wack

    Okay. So I added a gallon of MA which initially brought my pH to 7.2. Last night and today it is reading 7.5. Should I add a little more MA to get it back down to 7.2 or is it okay at 7.5? I've been adding bleach to keep bringing the FC back to 10. We did take the steps out of the pool...

    THanks. Yes, we do have a main drain. There are three 'intake spots" in the middle of the pool. When I stand on them I can never notice them "sucking" in, but when we turn off the skimmer there is still a strong steam of water from the return so I assume it is working.

    Help...my test results are all outa wack

    My dear husband has been "taking care of" the pool since it was installed in 2013. (That was my condition for getting the pool.) His method has been to take some water to the pool store every 2 or 3 weeks and then dump in whatever they give him. Sometimes it has been great...and a lot of time...
