pH up: when to add

[waterbear]

FYI:

pH Down is a VERY expensive packaging of dry acid--can't remember the chem name but there are lots of generic brands of dry acid. Or you can use muriatic (hydrochloric) acid, available at most hardware and tile stores.

Sodium Bisulfate is the ingredient.

Thanks, Evan. I went blank on it and was too lazy to look it up!

Thanks everyone. I am a BBB method convert as of last summer and I'm glad to say that I have indeed saved a lot of money, but mostly I'm just happy that my pool is always pristine and it is much easier to take care of now. Also I feel confident taking care of it now and am no longer at the mercy of others when it comes to chemicals. I owe that to all the info available on this site. Anyway, I just happened to have some pH down and was wanting to use it up. I just didn't know if you should wait a certain time before using if after adding bleach. But I just saw a post in another section of the forum about how dangerous it is to mix chlorine and acid, so I'm guessing it is best to space them out a bit. And that's what I've done. I loooooove this forum (learned so much) and Ben's test kit rocks!!! Going swimming now. Woohooo!!!
