Hello all, been using TFP for my pool for years with little to no problems. Hot tub for almost a year no problems. Not sure what happened but my hot tub numbers are all over the place. have a sundance Marin 880 315 gallons:
FC 2
CH 300
TA who knows as soon as i add the green solution it turns bright red
Ph 6ish or lower.
temp at 101
admittedly i was traveling so a week or so went by without attention and very little if any use.
I assume i need to keep ph low to lower TA and aerate to raise Ph back up. should i add some Ph increaser? how long will this take to lower Ph. I would have thought my TA would have dropped given the low Ph for at least a week.
thoughts?

so i need to slap my wrist. went back to the Pool School for extended test kit help. I should have known all answers are generally on this site. so i am misreading my tests. what is my first step? bring Alkalinity back into play and then manage the Ph or reverse? thanks.
