I have had issues for a long time with rising PH. What I know now is that the water coming into from the supply is around 8.0 itself. So no wonder I cannot get my PH in control. Thoughts?
Just keep adding acid to keep the pH in the mid 7s until it stays there. It will settle eventually.
Btw, your chlorine level needs to come up with such high CYA. You should be trying to hold it around 12ppm and never let it get below 8ppm.
Thanks all for your inputs. The TA of the fill water is about 205 and PH as I said was about 8. Also, in the K-2006 test kit, the water chemistry booklet states that Taylor recommends to use Adjusted Alkalinity, so I am a bit confused. If the Alkalinity is too low, would that not impact the plaster finish etc?
The issue is that even if I get the PH there, with the water being added from the supply at 8.0ppm, it starts coming up.
Keep adding acid to move it back down. It will eventually stabilize. Faster if you do the TA lowering process.
