The pool is only 2 weeks old, so I am trying to get a handle on getting it in order. The pH seems to always creep higher and higher as the days go on, I suspect its the SWG driving it up as the pool guy said. It appeared my CYA was too low initally (1 week ago it was at 5ppm) so we are currently trying to bring it up with Stab. Its at 15ppm now. If my pH always wants to move up, will that mean my Alk will always want to move up? or once you get your alk down, will it stay down unless fill water has high Alk. I am finding it confusing as alk and pH are connected... somehow.
