Help Understanding Valve Alignment

Muriatic acid lowers pH and TA. Aeration raises pH. Are you trying to control pH or TA? If pH those two together will work against each other ….

I was raising the PH and now I'm trying to lower it. I will stop the aeration. Ugh. So many things at once.

Well that is not good. You could just do multiple test. Something had to be flowing in this most recent test. Did you try to determine that? Basically trial and error to figure it out. Always ensure you have at least 1 suction line open to the pump and 1 return line open.

The builder did not install the return or jet eyeballs because be wanted to make sure everything was out of the lines. He has now installed them and yes there is good flow.
