Thanks for the quick replies. I do have my own test kit - Taylor K2006. And I will try the suggestion to bring pH down to 7.2. If I do that, I assume alkalinity will decrease as well. It's at 80 now, how low can it go until I need to be concerned?
Just moved to a new home. Pool is about two years old. Fired the pool guy and am managing myself with a lot of help from this site! Thank you. This is my first post. Today's water test:
FC = 2
CC = 0
pH = 7.8
Hardness = 172
Alkalinity = 80
CYA = 51
Copper = 0
Iron = 0
I'm managing...
