Having trouble keeping pH and TA in alignment, the fight is real.
Our 10k gallon pool has floor jets that cycle to both the pool as well as 1 zone that cycles to a spa with spillover. There is no way to stop the spa zone which means there is no way to stop the spillover. The floor jets are cycled by a 6 chamber mechanical Paramount contraption. No options to change how it works without major surgery, so Id rather not try to replumb all that... I run the pump at low RPMs for about 12 hours a day.
Between the SWG and the spillover, the pH will go from 7.2 to over 8 in under a week. I added borates at about 40 PPM this year to try to buffer it some and keep it from going crazy, but its still out of control pretty fast.
To keep my sanity I will overdose acid a little and let the pH swing from 7.2 to 8 so that Im not out there every morning with acid.
Looking for a better solution than dumping 34.5% acid in the pool every other day. If I kept up on pH/TA like I should I'd be going through 3 gallons of 34.5% acid per month.
Any in-line dosing automation that could sit in the sun? Have Pentair EasyTouch & IC60
