I try to keep it between 7.8 and 7.4. I usually add around 30 ounces every 2-3 days. I used to measure it out but lately I have just estimated. I'll start doing everything by the book until I figure what's going on...

No I'm doing BBB...

I just tested tap water... TA=140

It auto fills...

We have a 14 month old pool and I have been successfully doing BBB approximately 11 months. Up until about a month ago TA was relatively stable around 100. In 10 months I probably added baking soda 2-3 times. Also until a month ago, PH was constantly rising to where I needed to add MA every 2-3...

Thx guys!...

What speed should my pump be running when checking pressure? If I'm running it slower it's at 12 psi... full speed almost 30! Thx

According to Leslie its low... No?

So to raise that TA ib should use baking soda? How much?

My bil is the one who told me to take samples to Leslie's and buy whatever they suggest. That what he does... But he's got more money than he knows what to do with...

Less money spent is good if it's not a lot of extra work... our kids make all our money disappear on their own :(

Houston so yes...

I just texted my brother in law about the pucks. He's been using them exclusively for three years now and he says his water is perfect. Confused...

So for now add the hardness plus for CH, return Alka up to Leslie's, buy a proper test kit and read pool school again and again?... Thx for the help guys... I'm sure I'll need more.

Yeah overwhelmed is what I'm feeling... I got 7 kids... Now I gotta learn all this. He he...
