Help!

We are watching my moms pool while on vacation. My brother added 2 bags of pH down instead of shock. The pH was high, but not high enough for 2 5lb bags of pH down!!!! What do we do?! Can we just add pH up??

What’s the current PH?

Welcome to TFP.

What test kit do you have?

What is the current pH and TA???

The pH down may have crashed the TA. You adjust the TA up before the pH. pH will follow the TA.
