    Carl,

    Thanks for the very detailed post, It'll definetely come in handy.
    Remind me again why you recommend raising the PH to the 7.6-7.8 range for closing?

    Thanks

    I'm not Carl, but I have a feeling he raises his for the same reason I do. The rain around here is pretty acidic and it causes my ph to fall. If I start with my ph at the high end of normal, it keeps my ph from dropping below 7.0 before the next spring. Ph readings below 7.0 are acidic and can damage your pool.
