Just to keep you updated. I'm still trying to get the pH right. Added another 20oz of muriatic acid (up to 80oz in so far), still reading > 8.2 pH. A friend suggested that I may need to start vacuuming the pool first, that the muriatic acid is attacking the solids that may be in the bottom of the pool instead of effecting the pH. My plan was to start vacuuming and scrubbing once I started SLAMing because from what I've read, the algae will just grow back if I'm not at shock level. Should I vacuum and try to get it completely clean before the muriatic acid will start working? Also, I will need a vacuum, I guess I will search the forum to see what the "recomendation" is in that area.
