Hello Folks,
I changed my water several weeks ago. I used muriatic acid to bring down the PH over a couple days but my Alk got down to 40 before my PH became stable at 7.6 using Taylor test. The PH has been stable at 7.6 for a couple of weeks. Would you raise the Alk or is 40 OK.
Just to clarify, using the Taylor Alk test, the solution turned red at 3 drops but a brighter red at 4 drops. No change at 5 drops. Is my Alk at 40 or 30?
Thank you! Doug
