PH dropping

[erichanus]

These are the numbers from this morning.

FC 4.0
CC .5
PH 7.0
TA 90
CH 80
CYA 40

Opened new pool on 7/4. Everything has been fine and water is crystal clear. I have been slowly fine tuning the water balance. My question is the TA is on the high side but the PH keeps falling. Why would PH fall weekly? The instructions say to lower TA and PH then areate to raise the PH. Should I be worried about this? I don't have any way to areater the water other than having the kids splash like jumping fish!

How are you chlorinating?

 

[erichanus]

10% bleach

You could aerate with something like this:



I built it out of pvc for about $20. You could run it off a pressure side return or hook it up to a submersible pump.

Your TA level is fine. pH will naturally climb with the kids splashing. Just maintain FC daily and wait until pH hits 7.8 before you drop it back to 7.4 or so. You don't need to micromanage the water.
