Hello,
Here are my test results for today.
pH 8.0 (btwn 7.8 and 8.2)
FC 6.5
CC 0.5
TA 90
CH 275
CYA 70
The pH has trended up from 7.2 to 8ish over the last 5 weeks. I think that means I need to add some muriatic acid, correct? What should I target for pH? I was thinking 7.5 but in reading posts on the forum, I've seen Richard mention targeting 7.2 in a few places to help eliminate calcium scaling. I have no idea if scaling is a problem at this point in my pool. I'm also told I probably only have a 3-5 years left before it needs to be resurfaced so I'm not all that worried at this point about a little scaling. (The pool is new to me this year.)
Thanks in advance for any help.
Peter
