Hello all. I had my inground pool put in 12 years ago. Last 2 years have been awful. I have a automatic cover so it is covered all the time unless we are in it. Last year spent $2800 in chemicals, This year $3000 so far. I also have a hot tub and have had it for 12 years. It is flawless. My problem currently, no or super low pH. Pool is crystal clear. TA is fine. Fress Chlorine is fine. I have added 300lbs of PH increaser with no luck. I was told last year my TDS was extremely high and to drain pool. I did not do this. Another pool guy told me TDS no big deal just keep adding chlorine. Well this year same thing, TDS high and cant balance my water. Should I drain pool and start over? Hate to with all $$ in it. But ready to tear pool out of the ground. Any suggestions much appreciated. I have put in
400lbs of granular 56
25 gallons liquid chlorine
300lbs Ph increaser
200lbs TA increaser
60lbs stabile
2 gallons algacide
other than the last 2 years, it only cost me $700-$800 to run the pool for the season. I feel I should drain and start over. I fill off Well water. I did just order a test kit from this site.
