New to having a pool, we have a 20x48 above ground, 9000 gallons, its been up and running for a week, I cant seem to get the PH and Alkalinity down! We got lo 'n slo and we used scale inhibitor, started it yesturday. Nothing has changed, also can we swim in it with high PH and Alkalinity levels? Alkalinity is 248 PH 2.4.
