OK,OK,OK...now you really think I should bring my pH down???
Actually, I've just added another 1/2 gallon of muriatic and will go back and recheck the actual amount I should add to reduce my pH in a reasonable step, not baby steps. At my current rate, I won't hit target pH until Labor Day. I've added another 546 oz of 6% bleach this AM, even though I know a lot will be used up by the sunlight and rendered less effective by my higher pH.

I'll head out to get some CalHypo today, as it'll only take one more shock treatment to use all the bleach I bought yesterday.

Thanks again for bearing with me.
