Ok I ran those numbers through the pool provider and have added their recommended dose of Muriatic Acid directly to the pool. I will check it again in a few hours.

Ok went out an picked up some new reagents for the drip tests just to be safe. Apparently one of the Alkalinity items had gone bad. My Alkalinity is at 200 based on the new drip test. Ph was confirmed accurate at 8.2 using the drip again. So 8.2 on the IntelliChem, 8.4 on Accucheck Digital...

So I just went out and checked the IntelliChem and it is saying 8.2, I also did the Aquacheck strip and it said 8.4. I would assume at that point we are actually high.

I am not understanding how you are saying the Ph is too low, most of the time the IntelliChem is in lock out because the Ph is above 8.0.

As of this morning the drip test showed a TA of 50. We have extremely hard water that is used for filling if that makes a difference and I have also had to add a lot of Alkalinity Up over the past few weeks.

I now use 3 different tests to confirm. The IntelliChem sensor and its real-time display is the main indication I use because that actually controls the MA dispensing. Second for a spot check of FC, Ph, and TA I use an Aquacheck digital. Third for more complete testing I use a Taylor 6-way...

So we are new pool owners, on season 2. We have an IntelliChem with a salt generator and a Muriatic Acid auto dispenser. The pool is hitting its daily limit of 12 doses of 12oz each from the dispenser and I am still using dry acid in addition as directed by the pool installer to try to keep...
