Hi All:
Somewhat new to pools so please forgive me if this question seems elementary.
Just had water tested at a local Leslie's and I am showing a 7.8 PH but a "Base Demand" of 4. They are recommending I add 3 lb, 12 oz of Soda Ash to the pool - is that right? Soda Ash raises the ph but I am already at 7.8 (top of the recommended range). Please let me know your thoughts.
Also, what does it mean that I am showing a 4 Base Demand reading?
Thanks in advance!
