I got the pH up to 7.2 I couldn’t find the other water tester you were talking about at Lowe’s I’ll have to go try to get one somewhere else tomorrow. Thank you so much for your help

Okay I’m running to Lowe’s now I’ll pick one of those up too

I would really like to try to salvage it. And not have to drain it. If the soda ash doesn’t bring it up enough we will have to drain it I guess

Okay I will get some soda ash! Thank you so much!

No I did not use alkalinity increased

I use Clorox test strips but it only goes as low as 6.2 which last time I checked it was 6.2 so I know it’s lower

Yeah so I didn’t get to that part. I did the ph down thinking it was the alkalinity increaser ( I didn’t read the bag carefully) and after I did that I just stopped adding stuff.

No I read somewhere borax could help I added some of that maybe like 1/3 of a box. I tried looking up how to fix it but didn’t want to add anything until I knew for sure what to do. I don’t want to create a bigger problem.

I am a new pool owner and just bought a new above ground pool I used the Clorox test strips which told me to use 5 lbs of alkalinity increased and 8 oz of ph down… I used 5 pounds of ph down. How do I fix it? Our pool is 13 ft wide and about 4 feet deep it holds about 4000 gallons. :/ please...
