My ph is at 7.4. I don't think it has ever been to 7.6. I do have a little bit of staining which I thought resulted from shocking. I added 1 bottle of Jacks Pink Stuff, but it didn't really do anything. I am going to try the ascorbic acid stain treatment as soon as it comes in (ordered it on Thursday) and then add 1 1/2 qts of the Pink Stuff. I'll save the other half as maintenance doses for the rest of the season. Does it sound like I'm on the right track?

It was hot as heck all this week until yesterday. Now it feels like we're in a cold front, about 84 degrees and not humid!

Thanks.
