Lowering Alk -- fountain or ripple

[sparks999999999]

So how long would you expect it to take for six small fountains (think large drinking fountain action) to raise the alkalinity from 7.2 to 7.4 in a 40,000 gallon pool? Days? Weeks? I have no idea.

Newb here <wish i knew about this site a couple weeks ago> anyway i am interested in the answer to this question as well - how long does it take? Hours, days, weeks - or do you simply keep checking until PH stops increasing?

Thanks.
