Hi Everyone,
I am in a constant battle with high pH (everything else going well). I lower with muriatic acid to 7.4-7.5 on nearly a daily basis and next day it's up a point or two. No one has been in the pool yet this season (water is still too cold...) and there is no aeration.
I've read many old posts and it seemes like the common theme was keep the TA low and let the pH drift into it's natural range. Also, make sure the CSI stays near zero. (I'm a good student!) The concern I have with higher pH is chlorine effectiveness. Per the chart, chlorine loses much of it's effectiveness at higher pH levels, so I'm trying to keep it low.
FC - 5.2
CC - 0
pH - 7.8-7.9
TA - 69
CH - 260
CYA - 35
Borates - none
Appreciate your thoughts and recommendations as always.
