    High pH and Total Akalinity

    Just tested and put my pH at 8.4 as it was definitely over the 7.8 high mark on the test tube. Akalinity came in at 1600. Pool Math is saying that I need to add 4 gallons of Muratic Acid. Does that seem right? Also, when I used Leslie's for a few months when we first got a place with a pool...

    Water Feature Crack Repair

    First Taylor Test - Very High Chlorine?

    I just got the Taylor K-2006 test kit and figured that I would start with the FAC test. I thought that my chlorine level would be a bit high, but wasn't ready for this. After adding 2 scoops of the powder to my water sample (10mL), it turned pink. Then it took 42 drops of R-0871 to get the...
