My pool water pH is constantly on the rise, it seems. I never have a problem of too low pH. That made me wonder what my incoming water is. Here is mine. Does this seem typical?
* Rain water (TS Imelda came through last night, so I had a good source) pH=6.9
* Fill water (softened with potassium water softener) pH=8.1
With our summer near-drought conditions and upper 90's daily high temps, I've mostly had fill water added with very little rain. Using about a gallon of 31.45% muriatic acid every five weeks or so.
