I can’t figure out why my PH keeps rising. I lowered my PH to 7.2 a week ago, my TA is 120 and today my PH is back to 8.4. We have had no rain and I do not have an auto fill. My CYA is 80, CH is 325. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Lower your TA to 50-60 and it should help. Also you may find it easier to just keep it at 7.6-7.8. Assuming your pool is new? New plaster will raise the pH for a good while.I can’t figure out why my PH keeps rising. I lowered my PH to 7.2 a week ago, my TA is 120 and today my PH is back to 8.4.

Why does the TF-100 say my TA needs to be between 100-120?Lower your TA to 50-60 and it should help.
How do I lower my TA, by lowering my PH? Not sure if my other reply posted but the TF-100 instructions say to keep TA between 100-120.Lower your TA to 50-60 and it should help.

I meant the TF-100 says to have the TA at 100-120 for a manually chlorinated pool. But I was told to lower my TA to 50-50Nice to meet you via TFP
Our approved test kits can't measure pH of 8.4, but that's not all that important. The pH is high and gets high quickly because the TA is high.
Repeatedly reducing pH with muriatic acid will also reduce TA. Getting down to around 80 will make a big difference.
You can do this over time, or it can be done quickly via this procedure: Lower Total Alkalinity
50-60, I use the taylor 3-way kit to test PHI meant the TF-100 says to have the TA at 100-120 for a manually chlorinated pool. But I was told to lower my TA to 50-50
If you are using trichlor sanitizer (tabs) than the total alkalinity might be better at that level but TFP recommends using bleach/liquid chlorine to sanitize your water because your stabilizer level Will keep building up if you use those tablets too much. Take a look at the TFP pool school article for more information.How do I lower my TA, by lowering my PH? Not sure if my other reply posted but the TF-100 instructions say to keep TA between 100-120.
I don't use the tabs anymore, I switched to Calcium Hypochlorite 70%. I will be draining and starting over in the spring but trying to get educated so I can control my levels after refill.If you are using trichlor sanitizer (tabs) than the total alkalinity might be better at that level but TFP recommends using bleach/liquid chlorine to sanitize your water because your stabilizer level Will keep building up if you use those tablets too much.

Because it is a test kit and all test kits come with the same boilerplate recommendations.Why does the TF-100 say my TA needs to be between 100-120?
