TA is 75/80, put the original baskets back in yesterday, checked today, PH didn't budge. I may have the Skim A Round skimmers set to high and like you mentioned earlier I may be getting air from the vortex created by the skimmers. Haven't had a chance to check the pool TA today.

I started using these skimmers this year, I was wondering if anyone has experienced a slow rise in PH level with the skimmers. It seems like my PH slowly rises from 7.4 to 7.8 over a period of four days and TA seems to follow, CH stays the same, this didn't happen last year when I was using the...

no reason for 7.4 seemed like a middle of the road value, TA doesn't fluctuate much generally stays between 70 & 80. Thanks for your help.

Over the last couple of days my PH is slightly higher in the morning, I am running a heat/cool pump overnite to cool the water off, could that be the source of additional aeration and causing a rise in my PH, reading in the morning is 7.6. I keep the PH at 7.4, TA 80, CH 250 and CYA 75.

I use - pool calculator - on line I don't save the readings, I have a note book that I keep of my tests. my last CSI was -0.02

Yes , always right on and use the TF 100 test kit and additional Taylor test kits as well

Okay, for some reason, when I open the pool in the spring the pool surface (plaster) is a bit rough and I hate draining the pool and polishing it again, I thought is was because of the PH. so something else is causing it to be rough. Any thoughts on that?

TA is 80, CH 300 I thought it was the hi PH that was causing the problems? I will have to re think that.

Every year when I open the pool after being closed for the season my PH is always off the charts, and scaling is an issue. I am thinking about lowing my PH to 6.0 just before closing to see if that helps with the rising of the PH over the winter.

Ok thank you. I haven't put any salt in yet water is not high enough to circulate

with tfp test kit. Sorry it took me so long to get back to you, new plaster and wetting down the surface.

I am refilling my pool, it is a salt water pool but have not added any salt yet. My question is - my calcium hardness is 125 so it needs to come up to 200 now the pool calculator says to add calcium chloride, but if I do that then add my salt will that spike my calcium hardiness readings?

At the water line the plaster is really rough and flaking off, (looks like chaffing, maybe) had ice for most of the winter. I never had this problem before during any previous winters, but this winter was unusually cold and thought their may be a connection because of the ice. - - - Updated - -...
