Just out of curiosity how does lowering PH help rising CH? Thanks The CH in my fill water is 100

Fill water CH is 100. Been topping off couple times a week cause its 100 degrees here with lots of sun and no rain for past month.

Last month CH was 325 Last week CH was 350 Today CH is 375 (tested twice with same results) What's causing it to rise? Pool was re-plastered on May 2nd and all my numbers have been in range but now CH is rising:confused: Added couple trichlor tabs to bring up CYA few weeks ago but it shouldn't...

How long should I run pump after adding bleach in the evenings? Thanks...:)

I use liquid stabilizer found at pool store. Yes it is a little more expensive but you get quicker results without having to squeeze a sock several times a day. All you do is pour it into the skimmer.

Yeah, I weigh mine with a very precise scale. Ozeri Microban scale from walmart

Yeah it raised it 50ppm instead of 10ppm. Next time I will only add one third and see what I get. This is only the second time I had to add baking soda to raise TA this summer.

TA was at 70 and set goal at 80 on Pool Math. Added the 1 pound 12 ounces of baking soda Pool Math said to add with pump and APC running tested an hour later now I got TA of 120. What's up with that?

After having pool re-plastered 3 months ago I just noticed a stain. (See Pic). What caused this and how to get rid of it? My numbers have been right on the money since re-plaster and I brush twice weekly and treat it like a new born baby. No iron or copper detected with test strips. The stain...

2-3" tabs will raise cya 5ppm

I keep 8.25% bleach and muriatic acid on hand. I add bleach every night and little muriatic acid every couple days .

Went to pool store today for case of MA so decided to take sample water with me to get a laugh. A month ago they said my CYA was 90. Today they say its 45. How can it go from 90 to 45 without partial drain and refill, haha They said my PH was 8.0. I checked before going to store and it was 7.5...

It was a beautiful day here in Dallas & HOT!!!!!

When adding MA i scoop 5 gallon bucket water from pool and add right amount of MA to bucket then pour around perimeter of pool then use 24" wall brush to stir it around while pump is running.

Well now that the grand kids have gone home it looks like a war zone now...ha, but they had a great time
