Hello everyone,
Switched over to the BBB method. I have a stenner pump installed now using liquid chlorine. 36k gallon pool in direct sun is really using a lot of chlorine
Anyway...based on my numbers below, I am trying to figure out why my PH keeps rising...
FC:5.5
CC:0
PH 8.0
ALK: 90
CH: between 175 and 200
CYA 60
From what I have read with a CYA of 60 I should maintain between 5 and 7 FC which I do
I have gone thru no less than 8 gallons of Muriatic Acid since May and my PH keeps increasing to 8.0 and above. I try to maintain it around 7.4 - 7.6
Is my CH too low? Is my ALK to high? From everything I have read, my numbers seem to be OK with the exception of CH which should be between 250 and 400 for Gunite.
Any ideas or suggestions, or am I making to much of a big deal of the PH increasing constantly. I live in NY and we did not get a lot of rain the last month so I don't think that's an issue.
Thanks
Pierre
