Hello everyone. New to the site. Just purchased a pool that came with a home. ha I've spent a full work week cleaning and trying to understand the pool mechanicals and chemistry. I dropped CYA from 115 to 50 with a partial drains. Water is clear but the Polaris is not doing a good job so I ordered a robot earlier.
FC 1.5
PH 8.1
TA 240
CH175
FC/CH both need to come up, and PH and TA down. Prior to today I was using a test strip that must of been topped out on PH since it always read 8.2. Over the last week my records show I had put in 215 Oz of 31.45% MA and today with the TF-100 kit I found that the PH was still 8.1. Previously with the test strip the TA measured 240 and I got the same thing today with the TF-100 so there has been no apparent change. My goal is to drop the PH to 7.0 and aerate to drop the alkalinity and pool math said 2 more gallons of MA. That went in tonight and I ran the filter and waterfall pumps for 3 hours. I'll run another test tomorrow morning after the pumps run a few hours but I'm starting to get a little nervous that the PH is not dropping. Any thoughts?
