Hey everyone!
So my AGP has been up for about 4 days now, and we've had rain for the past two. I want to get the levels maintainable but I'm already chasing the PH around.
Here's what my levels right after I set the pool up.
PH - 6.8
Hardness - 10ppm
Alkalinity - 10ppm
I added 60oz of 8.25% bleach to shock and bring the chlorine up and also added 30oz of Borax to start bringing the PH up a little at a time. Well after the rain for the past two days here's what my levels are today
Chlorine - 0
PH - 8.2
Alkalinity - 20ppm
Hardness - 10ppm
CYA - 0
So I have 2 questions, the first is, do I need to get the Alkalinity up before trying to get the PH right? I'm sure the aeration from the rain raised my PH as well.
Also, I just bought granulated Stabilizer (CYA) what's the best way to add this to the pool? Was thinking of putting it in an old sock and tying it to the rail near the return.
