I filled my pool with well water that has a sulphur smell and 300 plus alkalinity I have been adding muratic acid about every 4-5 days to bring ph back to 7.2 but alkalinity seems to not be lowering any suggestions?
I read somewhere to add the acid to the pool with the filter off so it can get a better bite on the compounds making the TA high they said do this for about 30 min then start the filter. What do you think?
Keep the pump running. The "slug" method is a myth and it doesn't work any better than pouring it in front of a running return. It takes the same amount of acid to move the TA and there's much less danger of damaging something.
I have the test results from this morning
Ph. 7.5
FC. 3 ppm
Hardness. 100 ppm
Alkalinity. 240 ppm
CYA. 60 ppm
Alkalinity is below 300 for the first time yeah!
