New pool owner, microbiology geek, and TFP Fan! This is my first post, but I am so grateful for the wealth of knowledge and experience I've been able to mine from this forum for the past few years. Our pool build was completed at Thanksgiving, so I'm still learning about the impact of various chemical and environmental factors on balancing water, especially as the weather warms up.
Like many, I've struggled with an everlasting high pH problem and probably should have bought stock in a muriatic acid company months ago! After putting myself back thru Pool School, I picked up that the aeration my twin sheer descents are providing is likely the primary culprit. We love the noise and have been running them about 10 hours a day (don't laugh!), so you can imagine the magnitude of my failure in chasing it with acid. Sigh...
I guess my question is if there's any reasonable way I can still enjoy the wonderful noise while combating a soaring pH. I recognize that new plaster pools require acid, but I'd like to buffer the demand (pun intended), if that's possible. Thanks, y'all!
