Happy Holidays everyone!
I was curious, I always hear that you should keep your Ph lower than 7.8 to avoid scale. Is this just a rule of thumb, or can the pH get higher depending on the chemistry of the water? Is it more dependant on the CSI value? In my case I have a high CH and low temperature. Right now my pH is at 7.95 and I am thinking of leaving it there because my CSI value is -0.25.
Test Values:
pH: 7.95
CH: 520
TA: 70
CYA: 60
FC: 5.5
Salt: 4000
Borate: 50
Temp: 47
CSI: -0.25
