My alkalinity is off the charts, but my PH is in range. When talking to the pool store, they tell me to put in 10 lbs of PH Minus, so I did, dropped my PH way low, but brought the alkalinity down some. Though it still was not in range. So now the pool store tells me I need to add 8 lbs of PH plus to bring the PH back up, so I did. I brought the PH back up, but the alkalinity went back off the chart. After going through this cycle twice with the pool store, I'm starting to wonder if they have any idea of what they are talking about.
Is there any way to bring the alkalinity and PH both into rage at the same time?
Pool Specs:
18' Doughboy - Above Ground
6800 Gallons
1HP Hayward Power-Flo Matrix pump
Hayward Star Clear Cartridge Filter C500 with 50 GPM flow rate.
Pool Frog mineral system, no chlorine backpack though.
3" chlorine pucks in floater.
Pool Rover Vacuum
Taylor K-2005 Testkit
Hardness: 70 ppm
FC: .5 ppm
PH: 7.6
TA: 300 ppm
Cyanuric: 28 ppm
Tap Water:
Hardness: 40 ppm
FC: 1.5 ppm
PH: 8.0
TA: 310 ppm
Cyanuric: >28 - testkit can not read it.
Thanks,
Richard
