    Default Should we increase our PH?

    Our ph has been consistent at 7.2 for a few weeks. The other numbers are as follows:

    PH 7.2
    TA 130
    Hardness 110
    FC 8
    CYA 50

    Isn't a lower ph hard on a vinyl liner? We have a heat pump, so hurting it, is always in the back of my mind becasuse it wasn't cheap.

    Thanks in advance.

    You're ok at 7.2. As long as you are above 7.0, the water is not acidic and that is what you have to worry about. Most pools have a pH level that they like to be at. As long as yours is stable at 7.2, don't worry about it but just keep an eye on it.

    All your numbers look good! Keep up the good work!
