I’ve read a ton of threads here and I’m experiencing something I didn’t expect.
Converted to a SWCG pool recently. Love it from a CL standpoint. I’m just having issues with PH and alkalinity.
20k gallon, vinyl.
PH 7.7
Alkalinity 54
The PH rose from previous of 7.4 across 2 weeks. To be expected in salt pool. Per everyone advice in many threads, adjust alkalinity first. I add baking soda. Then test.
PH 7.7
Alkalinity 85
Ok. So then I want to add some 31.5% Muriatic Acid to get PH 7.4. Use the pool app to calc. Add 2 cups muriatic acid.
PH 7.4
Alkalinity 54
The thought was that adjust alkalinity first, then PH and the Alkalinity won’t move as much as the PH. But that’s not the case. The Alkalinity moved a ton. Thoughts?
