The scales of ph Justice

Man, I like replying to easy ones! Unless your water doesn't look right, a few small adjustments will get you close to perfect.

First, I'd get a little more chlorine in the pool. 3-6ppm is a nice range.

I'd then bring the pH down with muriatic acid. 3 pints would get you into a more normal 7.4 or so range.

Then, I'd wait about 24 hours, test pH and Alk again, and then add enough baking soda to bring your Alk up a little...shoot for 100

Thanks for posting the test results...very helpful. If you'll bring the Cl up where it needs to be and adjust the pH and Alk a little, I think your in for happy swimming the rest of the Summer
