Hi all, just opened the pool this weekend in MetroWest Boston. Pool temperature was about 48, rising to mid-50s now. pH reading is well above 8.0. During the summer, I keep it in around 7.5 or so. I notice each year when I open the pool, pH is well above 8.0.
Two questions:
- what affect (if any) does water temperature have on measuring pH.
- while I know too high/low pH is bad for plaster, is this danger reduced because the water is so cold? If not, should I try to do something over the winter to limit the pH rise?
Thanks all
