Okay so my ph is high 8.1 How much muriatic acid? and where other then pool store can i get it. how long till i can have people in the pool? see below numbers. also from prev numbers to latest numbers i added the following recommended by pool store. yes i know. no more pool store since i have found this site
15 pounds alk up
20 pounds calcium hardness
50 pounds of ocean breezes salt support. ( i think this stuff is garbage by the way. my cya only went up by 5. and pool store said i shouldnt be using uv shield but the salt support product.) funny now that i went back after a week he said i can use the uv shield to raise cya. thanks for ripping me off earlier.
anyway now he suggests 1/2 gallon muriatic acid. run filter for 4 hours then add uv shield diluted to deep end skimmer basket slowly and let pool run for 24 hours.. please advise if this is all correct.
