I've been adding about 1 pint of the 31.45% hydrochloric acid to a 10k gallon pool every 1-2 weeks to maintain the pH around 7.6 (I used to target lower values, but I don't anymore). I wait until the pH drifts up to 7.8 or 8 before treating. The TA continues to drop with each treatment, now...

Thanks Jezza. We have done the OCLT several times without any loss. We've even done multiple checks throughout the day, and the majority of the loss is happening in the early afternoon hours.

Hi! Back when our pool's CYA levels were in the 90s-100s, we'd target FC of 11-12 and only need to add about 2 pints of 8% bleach daily. After replacing water, CYA is now lower at 55, but we've noticed a few things: 1) Chlorine consumption is going up, needing 3-4 pints daily, even though FC...

Hi all, I've been using unscented Clorox bleach from the grocery store as my main chlorine source since my CYA levels are through the roof. A relative told me that I should specifically buy the more concentrated pool chlorine specifically marketed for pools, since it doesn't have the sodium...

Thank you all so much!

I read some of the posts about using borate for raising pH rather than sodium carbonate and I was wondering how many people actually do this? My understanding is that the amounts of borate added when adjusting pH are much, much lower than adding borates for buffering, algae retardation, and...
