What should pH be prior to closing?

[MM32]

My pool company is coming to close my pool on Monday. I’ve been running between 7.8 and 8.0 ph for a while. Should I lower the ph prior to them coming to close the pool or is it not necessary? I also don’t want to lower it too much that it effects the alkalinity as the alkalinity is in a good spot I think at 70ppm. Maybe just a few drops of MA to bring the ph down just a little bit? What do you think?

Thanks!

With vinly it won't change unless you have a mesh cover, then Ph will probably drop over time because rain has a Ph in the 5s.

Anywho, it's fine where it is.

Ok then you'll want to start on the high side like you are because it will drop over the winter. We'll see between 2 to 3 ft of rain and melted snow depending on the season and exactly how long you are closed. Some go 9 months closed here and many go 8.

I try to be open for 8 months because we like looking at it. Lol.
