I've never struggled with low CH. Lately for the last couple of weeks I'm reading 150. This pool has always been on the high side 250-300+ usually. Plaster pool about 13 years old. Everything else is close to normal for me anyway. this mornings results TFTtest with new chemistry.
FC 5 ppm
PH 8.2 (before adding acid)
TA. 130
CH 150
CYA 70
Temp 86
Salt 2600 Taylor test
What can cause low CH? It's been a fairly dry and cool winter/spring here(South Fl). With the heater keeping the water at 85 I've had more evaporation than I'm used to. Was convinced I had a leak until I passed a bucket test. So have had to add more water than usual. Rain usually keeps this pretty full.
I'm not even sure what to add to bring it up.
As I was writing this I decided to test my tap water. 50. That could be the problem
