    Is there a pH drop test??

    Have a bright white backdrop to view the color comparator against. Shine a LED flashlight on a white piece of paper, and hold the pH kit 6 inches or so above it. Can you take a picture of your self doing this? I have no idea what it means lol

    Is there a pH drop test??

    This is the one test i struggle the most, other tests are simple add x y and z then count drops and multiply by x. Is there a test like that for pH or im stuck having to guess the pink shade??? I tried a handheld meter but they go out of calibration quick :(

    Calcium Flakes

    Update: Added a gallon of acid to lower pH and hopefully it will lower TA as well. Cleaned my Salt cell (was full of calcium build up) and also cleaned my filter cartridges. Ill probably start dumping water this afternoon and replace it with soft water to help/aid the lowering of CH... Any...

    Calcium Flakes

    Yes i guess i was thinking to do 2k like every other week or something to fully prevent structural damage. Yes i have a whole house water softener system, and i been using it to fill evaporation, but its not going down that fast with just that. It got that high by what im assuming a bad wet acid...

    Calcium Flakes

    Thanks!! Quick question when you say that i should drain some water, can i take out about 2k gallos and replace it with SOFT water? It was low (almost 0 CH) or should i use reg water? Just not sure if im creating a new problem by adding soft water

    Super High CH (875)

    The plaster is not soft, i tried scratching it with my nails and almost lost my nail but nothing from the plaster. My TA is not increasing, it was 80 last test. I think only CH and pH are increasing. Also i forgot to mention that my pool was also started with adding a bunch of acid, and then 2...
