Hello all! I’ve been checking my water weekly and I’m constantly getting a pH reading of 8.0. My pool math recommends appx 40 oz of MA which I’ve done for a couple weeks. This last week I threw in 60 to see if that would make a difference and it once again tested at 8.0. Any idea what might be causing this or solutions to try? TIA!

With a TA of 110 your pH will rise in a few days. You need to plan to add MA frequently.

However if your fill water TA is high then your TA may not stay low for long.

Lower Total Alkalinity
A lower Total Alkalinity level can help a pool owner stabalize their pH increase. We'll explain how to lower TA with a little help from muriatic acid.
