Hi Everyone,
I just moved into a house in February with a pool. This is the first time being a pool owner, and I've been learning a lot on the site. Thank you!
My test results earlier today were:
FC: 0.0
CC: 0.0
pH: 8.2
CYA: 60
This is pretty typical of what I've been measuring, and I've been measuring the FC/CC and pH more-or-less weekly.
I added a gallon of 8.25% bleach and 2 quarts (64 oz) muriatic acid (20%).
I came back in about an hour and a half and have these results:
FC: 3.0
CC: 0.0
pH: 8.2
I don't seem to be able to affect the pH in the pool. I've added over a gallon of muriactic acid (31.5%) already over the last few weeks. But I've never gotten a pH test result less than the top color of my kit.
I know the waterfall is supposed to cause pH to climb, but in my case, it never seems to move down to start climbing back up.
Am I doing something wrong in the testing or do I just need to keep adding muriatic acid until the pH moves?
