Hi Again Everyone,

Thank you for your continued patience. I have had my test kit for approximately three weeks, and while I continue to hone my skills and confidence, I am extremely pleased with this kit! I am using the entire test kit once a week, and testing the chlorine and pH daily.

The weather continues to be beautiful here in Huntington Beach, CA. Our pool water is 85 F without the use of our heater. As a reminder, we have a NEW (Still waiting on the Final), small pool which holds somewhere between 10 - 11,000 gallons. It is sanitized using SWCG and Del Ozone system. We also have a navigator pool sweep. The surface is Pebble Sheen, and if it matters we have a 6' of sheer descents that are on throughout the day. The water remains clear, although I noticed the other day some sort of "film" floating on top of the water. Not on the entire surface, just a small portion. Could this be from the ozone system?

The tile is clean, rock work is clean, and we seem to have no problems. But as always, I manage to have a question or two. [IMG][/IMG]

Today's Results

FC 5
CC 0
TC 5

pH 7.8 (I have the hardest time reading the colors, and although initially it looks like 8.2, I am fairly confident it is still 7.8)

Is it possible that my pH just wants to stay at 7.8? When I add acid, it will lower the pH for a couple of days, but then it migrates back to 7.8. Should I even worry about adding acid if it stays at this number?

Alk 90
Cal 350
Cya 50

Here are a couple of pictures of our pool!

Thanks again for reading, as I mentioned, it seems as though everything is under control, but I am constantly worried about the pH, whether I should be or not. I truly appreciate everyone's input, advice and patience.

Regards,

Mike
