My pool has been really good this year. Its a 30k gallon, pebbletec with a SWG. Ive got the TF Pro test kit and all the numbers have been pretty much in line all year. I typically run a little low on Chlorine and CYA - the pool has no shade and is west facing and gets blasted with Sun all day, but I typically can manage it.
However, I went away for Labor day for 3 days, and came back to Algae and a sad looking pool. I measured, and found High PH (over 8.2), TA of 70, 0 Chlorine and 0 CYA.
I ve been trying to bring down the PH but it seems stuck at 8.2 after 24 oz of Muriatic acid, and now my TA is at 50. I was trying to get PH in line before adding liquid chlorine and some stablizer / shock for CYA but am confused why PH is not moving.
Any help / thoughts would be appreciated!
