This am 8/5:
FC 7 ppm
CC 0
pH 7.8-8.2 (estimated color)
ALK 130
CYA 30
Water clear, temp 78 degrees
2 days ago (8/3) I noticed what appeared to be algae streaks on bottom of pool liner and ph was also 7.8-8.2. I treated high pH with muriatic acid and then I SLAMMED for algae. Thought maybe algae was due to high pH as FC has been within ranges. Pool liner is now clear again and have passed OCLT but pH has went back up today.
I can't figure out what is causing my higher end pH? ALK has been consistent all season, perhaps I need to drop lower and aerate to raise Ph? could it be air leak in cartridge filter? alot of circulation? air pollution? I'm stumped.
