Hi everybody!
I'm new to the forum, and new to pool care. I have been "drafted" into taking care of the pool at the place I work. To keep things simple, heres a few things not in my signature I should put. The pool is heated to 92 degrees, it's also indoors.
I can't get the ph in my pool to go up. It's like it's frozen at 6.8-7.0 I read on-line somewhere that having a high TA could act as a buffer to getting the ph balanced. So I've been adding MA by the quart to the point of almost putting in 3 gallons. Not all at once over the last week and a half. Here's the specifics this morning.
PH. 6.8
FC 3
CC 3
TA 150-160
I have also added probably 7 lbs. of PH up thinking that as I lowered the TA I could raise the PH. Like I said I'm new to this and any help is appreciated. I've printed out the definitions and abbreviations and looked at the pool school and will go back and do some more reading shortly.
Great site! TIA
