Hi,
I have a 18’ x 48” intex round pool.
Here are my current results from my test strip:
250 hardness
2 free chlorine
0 cyanotic avid
40 total alkalinity
6.8 ph
I bought some stabilizer that should help with the cyanoyic acid that will arrive in a few days. I’m trying to get my Ph and total alkalinity up. I bought doheny’s pH plus and tried the recomend amount 3 times and still have not change. My pool does not have a deep end but twice I tried spreading it out and once dumped it right in the skimmer hoping it would desperse. Is there something I’m doing wrong? Why won’t the level go up? Do I need to get cyanotoc acid up first? Should I shock it and try again? The package did not say anything about pre mixing it, but should I premix one 5 gallon bucket?
Thanks
