Hi there, first post.
I have a 3 month old pool, I've been adding muratic acid per my pool companies direction to help bring my PH down. Last time I checked it was about 7.9. I had water tested today and they told me it was High PH, 8.2 but low alkalinity. I thought if the water PH was high, this ment I had high alkalinity (hence the addition of acid)? So they sold me a product called Alkalinity Up to raise the alkalinity of the water. Will this raise the PH even higher? I'm looking for a simple explanation about this relationship or a good link! Thanks!
