A Theory About Rising pH in SWG Pools

[chem geek]

Am only in my 3rd gallon of MA since pool filling.

Just wondering. Do you have any water features (waterfalls, etc.) or would you say that your pool doesn't have much aeration? What brand of SWG system are you using? Do you use a pool cover and is it opaque or a clear "solar" cover?

Since you aren't seeing the same sort of pH rise that others see in SWG pools, I'm just trying to figure out what's different about your pool.

I have a waterfall that's on 12 hours a day, so lots of aeration! I have an Aquarite SWG. No pool cover of any kind, lots and lots of UV on the pool - we're on Day 52 of air temps at 100 degrees or higher.

Also, although I WAS just on my 3rd gallon of muriatic, I've now broken the seal on the 4th gallon.
