When I first came here and started doing my pool myself, it seemed so confusing and I was so unsure of myself in regard to testing/adding chemicals and so on.
Here it is, just a few months later and the opposite is true.
Several weeks ago, I posted in regard to my ph level. From the heat, sun and rain, no matter what, it hung out around 7.8. I know that’s not an issue but because we were getting so many afternoon thunderstorms, it would raise a little. I’d lower it to 7.5 and by the end of a day, it was always back to 7.8.
Someone here told me they bet that if and when my alkalinity lowered to about 60, I’d have an easier time getting it to stay at 7.5. So I waited for it to lower on its own. It’s been at 60 for two weeks. And my ph has stayed at 7.5 even with rain!
You do not get such info at the pool store or from a pool company hired to clean your pool!!!! You guys rock.
And my pool is consistent, clear, so clean, no burn of the eyes or weird skin feeling. It’s magic.
