    Question ph mystery

    I need some help. Have been using exclusively BBB method for 3 years with Taylor test kit. Pool has never been cloudy since switching. It is so easy, that I have gotten lax with testing. We basically add 1 Walmart bleach a night.

    Last night tested cl only , it was at 2ppm; added large bottle of bleach. I had not checked ph (which typically stays between 7.5-7.7) due to being out of phenol red. When I tested the ph, it was a pale pink. It looks like the 1ppm on the chlorine scale.

    Here are today's complete results. I would appreciate your input. This website has been so informative. Thank you all for such great information.
