I've been using ABC since last summer with success; clear water, no algae or scum. I notice that my pH runs high (>8.0), and I need to add acid routinely. When I used pucks in the past, the pH was always ~7.5, but not now.
Two weeks ago, I got the following:
pH: >8
TA: 140
CYA: ~40-50
FC: 5 AM; 3.5 PM
I added a lot of acid over several days, and got the following:
pH: 7.2
TA: 120
I've been adding about 36 oz of fresh 10% bleach daily, and about 60 oz muriatic acid twice/week, using the pool calculator. Cl levels are great, but pH keeps creeping up >8.0 after 4 days . Is it to be expected to be adding a lot of acid along with liquid chlorine?
