I've been using about a gallon of muriatic acid per week to control pH and I'm just wondering if this is ok. I measure pH everyday, but I usually add the acid once per week, right after I go through my full weekly battery of tests on Saturday.
Saturday morning, I'll get done with my testing and almost consistently find the pH up around 8.2. I'll add a gallon of muriatic acid, and test again a few hours later to find it at 7.2. The reason I add once per week is because I really like to limit my exposure to the stuff and only want to deal with it once per week.
However, I'm just wondering if it seems normal for my size IGP to be using a gallon per week.
FC = 5
CC = 0
TC = 5
pH = 7.5
TA = 100
CH = 250
CYA = 40
Salt = 2000
Borate = 31.6
