Hello,
I have read many of the previous posts on rising PH. I am also aware that agitation raises PH. But I assumed, incorrectly, it was serious agitation (waterfall, spa jets, etc.) you guys were referring to. What I didn't know was just the spillover from the spa to the pool raises PH. My spillover is roughly 6 5/8" (it's a faux rock coping) into the pool. I am switching to a SWCG soon which also raises PH. If I turn off the spillover I am concerned one or the other won't get it's water turned over. What do you owners of older pool and spas do about water circulation (sanitation), have the valves set one way for awhile then switch them? Or am I worried about nothing? The neighbors said the pool and spa were built back in the mid- 1980's. Many thanks!
