I Bit The Bullet!

Just my two cents regarding the rising pH syndrome; I've found that it takes a lot less acid to maintain the pH near the top of the range than trying to keep it in the middle.

That is the case for me as well. There's an excellent writeup on that subject here: http://www.poolsolutions.com/gd/hiphpool.html

I'm not there yet. Still working on the install. Have the cell's manifold plumbed in but now I have to hook up all the regular pool lines, install O-rings and finish rebuilding my solar panels manifold and get the pool filtering. Then I have to wire in the control panel and I can work on getting it running.
