Just for some real world experience, I use bleach exclusively and I might have to adjust my pH once or twice a season. It holds rock steady at about 7.5 pH all the time. If I run the fountain for an extended period of time I might have to adjust it a tiny bit. I have a gallon container of muriatic acid that's over three years old and it's not empty yet.[/quote:2ffkqgzf]Bama Rambler said:[quote="Big Bill":2ffkqgzf]That makes sense. Sodium Hypochlorite has a pH of around 11. So adding it regularly will increase pH over time.
How do you do this? Ive gone through about 2 bottles or more of acid per season the past two years. Monitoring and adjusting pH has been the most frustrating part of the process so far for me as in tends to increase rather quickly. The pool is closed right now so a complete water test will not be conducted for a few months yet, but I'd love to get to the point you are at!
