Hey all,
Just opened yesterday and everything went well! I am currently trying to lower my PH to 7.5. I've been using the "green" MA from box stores that is 15.725%, but I found an unused bottle in my barn from the previous owner that is about a year old, that is the good stuff, 31.45% 20 Baume. I put in the 1 cup as recommended in pool math, and i noticed that there was a light film type substance on top of the pool, almost like a gloss? Is that normal for the higher strength stuff? It definitely smelled stronger! I broke the water up by running my pole around and it seemed to break up the MA more.
So, is that normal? I just poured it about 10 min ago so I will check in 20-30 min if it lowered it any. Does MA expire or go bad? Searching through the forum most folks said it doesn't so figured i was in the clear.
Thanks!
