We added acid and I will test again in the morning. Don't I have to lower my ph before I can start on lowering the alkalinity? Our alkalinity was fine until the pool store had us dump a bunch of stuff in there and now it's too high. Gr... I'm glad I found you all. My pool has come a long way since joining this forum.

Anyway, my ph was 8. I'd gotten it down to 7.7 2 weeks ago.
