I have a 2500 gal spa (diamondbrite finish) next to my pool with its own water (separate circulation from pool, it’s own SWG). I’ve just started maintaining system myself. I have brought TA down from 120 to 70 over the past week with Muriatic acid, but I can’t get the pH to stay below 8.0.
Spa runs almost daily at 104 degrees (cools to 85 at night) and jets and air blower run 10 min/day or so. I’m sure the aeration is driving up pH, but that is the spa’s function.
Any ideas to bring pH down to 7.4-7.6 where I don’t need to add acid daily?
total chemistry:
fc 9.5
pH 8+
TA 70
CH 300
CYN 50
Salt 3200
