Hi all,
So here's the scenario. Someone at work was talking about his pool and pool water and he happened to mention that his Ph will drop over time do to the rain being acidic.
I replied that I had heard this before, but don't know if it's true (in theory it sounds good enough). I then asked him what type of chlorine he uses (pucks) and what his TA was (he didn't know).
I left it at that (as most pool owners don't want to hear about BBB until they're ready) but it did get me wondering...
...what's our rain? We've been getting a TON of it...and I mean a TON. What's the Ph? Acid rain is rain having a Ph of 5.6 or lower.
I collected the rain water in a glass and tested it today. Ph -7.2, TA 20
What's yours?
