We just bought and moved in to our home with inground pool. Last Friday we did start the pool ,however it is driving me crazy since then. First and most the water never became clear. Yesterday, when I checked the water, the pH and Chlorine levels were down so I added more liquid Chlorine and today it rained (We are in IL).
Long story short I am having hard time to get all worked out and would appreciate the help. Couple questions:
the pool is a lazy L with 16000 gallons and has a automated chlorinator
What is the best way to increase pH?
When I increase pH will this increase any other chemical?
If Acid levels are high should I be just adding baking soda? and how much?
I added since Friday 3 gal of Chlorine and it still reads low chlorine?
Thank you for all the help!

To answer all of your questions about what chemicals to use, why, and how, I would refer you to my signature below. You'll see some "Vital Links" that are essential to TFP pool care. I would print or bookmark those links for future reference. You'll use them frequently.
