    pH took a nosedive after too much muriatic acid

    Hi, I think I made a mistake but am not sure how bad. Over the past two weeks, my pH has been consistently high around 8.0, and I tried adding a cup of muriatic acid at a time. pH would go down to 7.8, then back up to 8.0 after 2-3 days. Today, I decided to go big and poured about 2/3 gallon...

    Hello from Houston

    Hi, all. I bought my first house with a pool 3 years ago, knowing nothing about how pools work. I've slowly learning, with a lot of help from this site. I still have a professional come every week to clean and maintain chemicals. But I've done a few fixes myself such as changing the salt cell...
