Hi, I submitted my pool chart info. I have an intex 15' x 48" round pool. Metal frame. This is our second summer and basically trouble free. I add 4 - 6 cups of bleach per night and have good clear water. However, my ph has gone up from 7.8 from day one to 8.2 the last two days. Should I be concerned? Also, have never used anything other than bleach, skimmer pole and aqua broom to clean and it seems to be working. Should I add di-chlor? Or is that just if I don't want to add so much bleach every day? I don't want to fix what isn't broken, but do I need to worry about the ph going up? I have borax and baking soda on hand, just have never needed it. I do spend some time each day testing, cleaning and adding bleach each night. thanks for any input!
