Hi. My PH is puzzling me. We had our plaster pool drained and acid-washed in April. Since them I have been following TFP methods pretty religiously. Our pool water is beautiful, clear and clean. But...
My PH keeps rising. This is somewhat expected with the SWG, but I was putting in two gallons of MA a week. So, I tried borates (which are great). The only effect on PH is that I now need twice as much MA to bring the level down - instead of putting in half a gallon every other day, I now put in a full gallon every other day. I don't have any fountains, slides or any other source of aeration.
Anybody have any insights?
FC - 5.5
CC - 0
PH - 7.5
TA - 60
CH - 425
CYA - 80
Borates - 50
Salt - 3400
ETA: fill water TA - 140, PH 8.0 (could I just be getting that much evaporation?)
