I am a new pool owner and have been using the TFP test kit to monitor and manage my water.
I have an inground, pebblesheen (plaster) pool with a volume of approximately 27,500 gallons.
I test my pool weekly and it reflects a ph of 7.8. I am using the pool math app which recommends that I add muratic acid (10%) every week - which I do. However, the ph doesn't seem to come down week to week. It has been raining recently, and wondered if this leads to the ph creeping up.
My current readings are:
FC: 3
ph: 7.8
TA: 80
CH: 250
CYA: 20
Temp: 57 deg F
I added approx. 24 oz of acid today after taking the above readings.
What is the best method to slightly lower the ph? Does rain raise the ph? I am missing something?
Thanks!
