Low PH
Our PH has been reading 6.8 or possibly lower(using test strips) for quite some time. We periodically used baking soda to try to raise it without success. Yesterday I put 3/4 box (app. 57 oz) of Borax in. Today we used an AquaChem Professional test kit. The chlorine is dark orange and the PH is the same! CYA is 45, TA is 50. We put 4# of Baking Soda in about 3 hours ago. Are we on the right track? Our pool has been crystal clear all summer, but we should still raise the PH, correct? Thanks in advance for your help!
