My understanding is that the ph of your eyes is 7.2 - 7.4, so in my mind, a little low would be more comfortable to a persons eyes. I have lowered to 7.2 when we were having company and it seemed that I didn't get any complaints about eye burning. Maybe just a coincidence. I lowered to 7.2...

And also, I "borrowed" a respirator with an acid filter from work because I knew I would be adding muriatic acid to counteract the borax. I don't know what it is about that edge of the pool where the jet is, but the vapors want to come right back at me. The respirator is a little bit of a pain...

Brought my borates up to 50 and got my TA down to 70 and the PH seems to have stabilized at 7.6. Hopefully it will stay that way for the rest of the season. Thanks to everyone for all the help and suggestions. Bob

My borates are already at 40, I could bring them up another 10 and see if that helps. Thanks for all the help. Bob

The only things I have had to put into the pool since opening was enough baking soda to get to 80 which was done the first week, about a gallon of bleach a week, roughly a cup or 2 every other day, and about three cups of muriatic acid every 3 - 5 days. When I opened the pool the Ph was above...

When I opened the pool in April the TA was 50, I added enough Baking soda to get it to 80, (The Pool Math Calc target was 70 - 90) and the TA has remained constant since.

I do poor it into a glass 4 cup measuring cup to the oz that the Poolmath Calculator suggests, then slowly poor it into the pool above the only jet. The deck fence is close on that side of the pool and blocks anything but a strong breeze. I can see vapors coming back up from where the acid is...

I had to add about 12" when I opened it at the end of April. Did a quick test on my tap water and TA was 60. I target 7.4 when I add and let it rise to 7.8 before I add again.

So far I have only had to add about 1 inch of water once, we have had enough rain to keep the water high enough. I also keep a solar cover on it whenever it is not being used, that probably helps a lot with evaporation. If the amount I have added has gone down, it is not by much, seems pretty...

FC 4.2 CC 0 PH 7.8 TA 80 CH 180 CYA 40 BOR 40 I was wondering if there was something I could do to keep my PH from constantly rising. Muriatic Acid is the one chemical I hate working with, the odor gags me.:mad: I don't seem to have any other problems and my pool has never looked better since I...
