OK, I'm frustrated. I've started working on the chimicals of our pool since Dec. 2013. Here's the pattern:
Chlorine - averages around 1.5
Combined Chlorine - 0
PH - Average 7.8. It CONSTANTLY wants to rise and I find myself having to add around 60oz of muriatic acid every week to get it down to 7.4 - 7.6
TA - this averages about 60 every time I add muriatic acid.
CYA - 35-40
4/22/13 - I added 64 oz of muriatic acid and brought PH down to 7.4. TA was 60-70
4/24/14 - PH is already 8.0
Am I even doing the right thing? Does adding so much Muriatic acid have an affect on other things? Lastly - is it OK for my to be so low?
Very frustrated
Thank you for your help!
