I have been fighting PH since we got the pool but this year it seams to be twice as bad.
FC 3
PH 7.8
TA 280
CYA 40 thinking of bumping it to 50
temp 85*
are the latest numbers
a week ago the numbers where
FC 3
PH 8.2 as high as my kit can test
TA 350
CYA 40
my fill water has a TA of 180.
The prob is i can not get the PH to drop below 7.8 even after adding dry acid bottle says 12oz in a 10,000gal pool should drop the PH from 7.9-8.0 to 7.4 seeing as i have a 6000gal pool i have been useing 6oz wich i know is alittle less then they say. I test 30 minutes after adding the acid to the pool and it wil not drop below 7.8 but the TA is dropping.
all tests are useing the HTH kit from walmart (will be getting the TF kit soon)
Should i add more acid a once?
