I just ordered a CORE-55 and am converting to SWG. After tons of reading, I have noticed many with complaints of SWG raising pH more quickly than desired. My problem is going to be that I already have to add 32oz of 31.45 Muriatic acid for every two inches of fill water to reduce the...

Hi TFPerss, I checked the water yesterday. I wanted to bounce these numbers off you all. FC 5 CC 0 pH 7.5 TA 110 CH 300 CYA 30 water temp 87 My pool is not salt water. Resurfaced some years back to Wet Edge Satin Matrix (it's aggregate). My CSI shows things are okay. I float one puck at a time...
