pH at Closing

[JPMorgan]

Will be closing in a week or two. Noticed that pH has been rising lately… currently around 8. However, I also noticed that as water temp drops the Pool Math calculation for CSI also goes down. So… should I just leave pH at the current level and not adjust? CSI currently at .17 with pH at 8 and water temp at 68. Temp of 40 will drop CSI to -.1. What is the lowest water temp I should enter to get accurate CSI for winter water temp? Thanks.

Our closing instructions recommend closing at about 7.4 - 7.6. This is usually accomplished in the Sept - Oct time frame for many owners. It should be an adequate pH range for now and allow time for the pH to rise and water temps to crash later in the Dec - Feb time frame so that it all balances itself out better.

Winterizing a pool is essential for keeping your in-ground pool protected during cold-weather months. This Pool Repair guide will show you how to do it.

So.... bring it down form 8 to about 7.6 now if closing in a couple weeks?

I'd maintain normal levels for now (anywhere in the 7.2 - 7.8) and just prior to closing adjust to the 7.4 - 7.6 if needed.
