About two years ago we moved into a house with a pool. We ended up installing a SWG and testing out pool chemistry ourselves. A lot of SWG pool owners we spoke with indicated that their PH is constantly increasing that they have to add muradic acid every week or so to lower their PH. Everybody seems to be confused when we tell them our PH for over a year stayed in the 7.4-7.6 range. Is this uncommon with a SWG system? Or why is there such extreme differences from a weekly to yearly?
I haven't tested for borates or anything else. So I'm not really sure about the chemistry before I took over maintaining the pool.
The other question I have is that I end up buying dry acid (Sodium Bisulfate) to lower my PH the one time it's increased about a month ago. I know I've read online and in these forms that it increases the sulfates and it's not very good for SWG systems. Is this over exaggerated that it will cause issues for my cell and also the surface? Plaster/Pebbletec surface
Thanks in advance
