Thanks a bunch for the replies. I know that 8 oz. of muriatic is not much to my pool. However, the 8 oz. Solo cup is a pretty handy measuring device. I don't know the exact Ph, just that it is 8.2 or higher. That's why I didn't use BleachCalc to calculate a dose. I didn't want to yo-yo past 7.4 or so and I thought that drastic Ph changes can screw up your water, (make stuff precipitate, go clowdy, etc.).
8 oz. by 8 oz. I'll find 7.4 or 7.6 eventually. I just throw in a dose each night and test and redose the next night. I'll get there.
My other question was: What are the consequences of having a sky high Ph? Are there any downsides besides irritation to swimmers?
Thanks again,
Condo Steve
