Reporting on my mission to control my pH from always rising to around 8.2+ even with the addition of "a lot" of weekly Muriatic Acid.
Day 5 - Using Pool Math Calculator and measuring cup to get definitive reproducible results. I was recommended to lower my TA to help slow the increase in pH. Also to increase my CYA from 30 to 50 to help decrease the amount of bleach I have to use in sunny Hawaii...
My FC drops daily to about 4/5ppm, and I raise to 7ppm with appropriate amount of 6% bleach for past 4 days.
I added dichlor yesterday and today instead of bleach to help get my CYA up. I havent tested CYA yet since adding today's dichlor.
I have added MA daily to drop my pH to 70 until my TA drop to 50-60.
My results are on my profile ( I hope..!) I have tried linking it using the pool math app....
It seems I can see a daily loss of 2-3ppm of FC.
I also see my TA dropping slowly.
My pH is more predictable since I have been using a measuring cup and following the recommendations.
I plan to do this for another week or so, on a daily basis, to get more info on my pool chemistry...thanks so much to all!!
