Opened Pool this weekend...couldn't wait...Everything is good except pH...
I bought Borax and added about 47 oz and it hasn't budged...
Here are my numbers
FC 5
TC 5
pH 7.0
TA 70
CH 150
and
CYA 40
My question is, does water temperature play any effect on the accuracy of pH reading? and one more I just thought of...Does pH come up right away, or does it take some time with the pump running to get it to come up. Pool Calc says I should add about 74 ounces of Borax to bring it up, I have added about 47 ounces so far. I want to add gradually and make sure that I don't add too much and then have a high pH. So how long should it take to see my pH climb to say 7.2 or 7.4. I think I was aiming for 7.5 on the Pool Calc.
