This is the end of my first full year of pool ownership. It’s not a new pool, nor has it recently been replastered. I’ve had to add approx 1 gal 31.45% muriatic acid (TA 100) in the last month to keep the pH in the mid 7s.
This is a 30,000 gal pool in North Texas, so it was “open” all winter. I didn’t have to add acid at all last year, after we moved in and started it up. We used it heavily last summer and into the fall. And since then, only occasional spa use.
Is this just normal? I’m definitely new to this, so just trying to learn what to expect. I definitely have been adding chlorine at an expectedly high rate as pollen and other signs of spring land in the pool.
Any advice or something obvious I’m overlooking? Thanks!
