I just tested the pool for the first time in four days. Four days ago the TA was 80. I now have SEVERAL stains on the pebble-tec. Test results are as follows: pH 7.5 FC 2.6 CC .5 TA 50 CYA 50 Borates 80 I know I need to raise the TA with baking soda (8# to get up to 70), which will raise my...

Hi guys. My pH is going up rather quickly. Last week it went from 7.5 to 8.2 in about a day and a half. The highest temperature it got here was 89°. Last night I added borates to the pool and the pump has been on the whole time. This morning the pH was at 7.2 and just now it's already up to...
