I have been having some slight issues with the PH. I started with the BBB method this year and I use the Taylor test kit. Here is where I'm at from last night.
PH 7.8
FC 4.0
CC 0.0
TA 80
CH 210
CYA 40
The PH seems to keep rising slowly (not bouncing) so when I add Muriatic acid the PH drops and the TA drops. Lately the PH seem to rise over a week from 7.4 to 7.8. I thought it was the rain we had in June (over 9") but its been dry in July and still doing it. We are not using the pool a lot and the kids are older so they tend to just float to tan instead of splashing around. There is a 1/2 tube with water flowing into the pool over the edge of the pool from my small solar heater I built from irigation tubing, but not much splashing.
What can I do to get the PH lower but the TA to stay at 80 or raise it towards 100.
