pH keeps creeping up

[Jakebear]

Hi Richard, We love your commentary an knowledge.

DH is fcfrey, you two have kicked around a lot of emails over the last year and we have learned a lot from you (and others too).

We have a fresh water pool with a pump like they use on a dialysis machine. He rigged it so the pump runs whenever the pool pump runs. It works well but he says he might have to add an acid pump to it??????

Any way we have had about 2" rain as thunderstorms over the last 2 weeks which has kept up with evaporation and rug rat splash out. Since we have a DE we do not back flush very often (just bump). There are no fountains etc. We have not added anything other than chlorine and acid for 6 or 8 weeks except a bit of CYA (DH wants it up to around 30 to try to cut chlorine consumption a bit)

We do not have trouble with TA ---- Just the pH. It's not a big deal but since I don't have to lug jugs like last year -- maybe I'm getting lazy. Either way all last year on BBB (before the chlorine pump) we never had to add acid so I'm wondering ------ was-sup????
