I added 3 ounces of Soda Ash and got the pH back to where it needed to be. Thanks for the advice!

Ok thanks, I only added another ounce of potassium chloride. I will try to keep adding the soda ash until I get a reading before I post again. I was afraid to add too much and find out I need to drain the hot tub. We're in a drought in CA and I hate to waste all this water because of my...

I tried adjusting the chemicals again today and the pH is still reading yellow regardless of what I do. What is the affect of chlorine on the pH reading? Maybe I took the PH reading too soon after I super-chlorinated? If I don't use chlorine neutralizer, would this make the pH reading turn yellow?

Is there a link to the chemicals TFP suggests?

I tried this the last time and the pH never raised past yellow. I just thought it was weird that how the test chemicals react changed when I use potassium or sodium carbonate. I can try to keep raising pH but I'm guessing it will be the same as last time, no reaction and then I end up dumping...

I went to balance my alkalinity and pH today. When I first read the water, the alkalinity chemicals change from green to red through the process (reading was 30ppm) and the pH read yellow (6.8 or below). I added a product called phUp which was Potassium Carbonate. After this point when I go to...
