    CH Keeps Dropping, pH Rises

    So I'm still adding 25# of CaCl every 1-2 weeks trying to get it to the 350-450 range, and never get it above 325. While I do have an autofill that will fill with softened water, I don't think I have a leak because neither my salt nor CYA levels are dropping. Like I said before, it isn't a new...

    Hey everybody

    Forgot to add - can the target ranges be changed in Pool Math? They don’t match what is in the desired chemical range article. That doesn’t seem right.

    Hey everybody

    Thanks for the reply. I have a Taylor test kit, don’t remember which one offhand. It tests all levels you mentioned (& I have been monitoring). talked to my pool store when they were out the other day to replace a sensor. He has installed multiple heat pumps with gas boiler and says the ET...
