Hey guys this is my first post.
After years of pool neglect on my part and bad pool advise from the "pool store" I decided to take things in my own hands and tame the beast. I did a complete drain and refill because I wanted to start out fresh and didn't want a chemical cocktail anymore.
I then stumbled upon this forum and read Pool School, bought a Taylor test kit, stopped going to the pool store and I have been rewarded with a crystal clear pool the last couple of months! THANKS to everyone on this site!
The question I have is I feel like I am using too much MA. I need to add 16oz every 2 -3 days to maintain a PH below 7.8
Is this the norm, I understand everyones pool is a little different. I have no extra aeration like water falls fountains etc.
Here are my stats:
PH 7.8
FC 2.0
TC 0.0
ALK 100
CH 200 (a little low?)
CYA 30-40
