Get the ph up above 7.0 first. Any readings below that are acidic and can damage your pool.

Poolwater is still clear. I'm trying to increase my PH but it doesn't seem to want to cooperate.

I've added 20oz of PH up and it hasn't budged.

I've just added another 12oz. Will check in about 1/2 hour - 45 minutes.

PH was still low so I added another 16oz of PH up.

as of now,

PH is 7.2.
CL - 15 (according to Ben's best guess this should be adequate shock level)

It sounds like you're in the homestretch. Keep it at shock level until it maintains the FC level overnight and then keep the FC between the Best Guess table min and max for your CYA level.

You probably already know this but regular old 20 Mule Team Borax is a much cheaper substitute for pH Up.

Congratulations on getting your water cleared up.

I can honestly say I could have never gotten this far if it wasn't from the constant support and help from this forum!

Thank you to everyone who helped me get to this point!

You're in the home stretch now! Woo-hoo! Keep that Chlorine up and you're home free.
