I’ve had my pool for over 6 years and never had an issue with low PH before.
In the last week, my PH levels have dropped to between 5 and 6 ppm.
I added 5 pounds of soda ash (29,000 gallon pool) and the PH appeared to be coming back up nicely.
When my pump stopped circulating last night, the PH on my dousing pump (in stop mode) was reading 7.4 ppm.
I wake up this morning and checked again once the pump started and I see sub 6 ppm again.
I checked the alkaline level and found this to be basically zero. I then added 5 kg of baking soda, giving me about 45 ppm on my alkaline test kit (will add more tomorrow).
My PH is still very low and that was doing 2 different manual tests plus my dousing pump reading.
Do I just keep adding more soda ash?
I’m running a salt water chlorinator and tend to keep my levels around 2 ppm +, which has never been an issue before.
Would really appreciate some advice, as getting experience help/advice locally is just not available.
