I have been on TFP since late last year. I am using liquid chlorine for pool (6%). I add about a gallon to my 10,000 gal pool every few days when my reading hits 1.
This generally raises Chlorine to about 4-5. Then the sun bakes it off....
Every week when I test Chlorine and pH, my pH always seems to be at 8.0-8.2+- (in the purple zone)
I add chlorine, and then about an hour later, my Muriatic Acid.
I always add more MA than recommended because the recommendation don't seem to bring it to 7.5 as in pool math for more than a few days.
Usually about 24-30 ounces vs 15 oz recommended.
I live in Hawaii, and we have generally windy conditions a few days a week.
1. I have been wondering why my pH keeps rising....?and
2. why do I need to add so much more MA than what is recommended.
Maybe because of the wind?

I added a gallon of 6% liquid chlorine and 16 ounces of MA in past hour. I will retest in an hour. I want to keep my pH at 7.5 without it rising so quickly...
Mahalo!
