I just added 110 oz of the S&S. It should be fine. Why do you suppose pH would rise? Woulld it make sense that at 7.8 it could burn skin?

7.8 is at the top of the range. Maybe your skin is more sensitive. Maybe also the pH is actually higher than 7.8. The color matching is hard for some people. Did you go ahead and lower it?

No. I've never had to do it before. I do have some Muriatic Acid (20% Baume) and I also have some "pH Minus" from Target. Should I attempt to lower? If so, what is the best method?
Thanks.

Okay, sorry for the lazy question. I watched the youtube video linked here about adding MA and I added what I guessed to be around 15 oz. Now, how long should I wait before testing and letting bathers in the pool?

Well I waited about 2 hours and retested. pH was still around 7.7 so I did an acid demand test, which indicated that I needed between 9 oz and 1 pint of acid to get to 7.4. I'll test again in the morning.

I had a long day at work. You can swim as long as your pH is between 7.2-7.8. I am glad it is for sure under 7.8 now. I sure hope this takes care of your "burning" issue!

Thanks FBU. I tested this morning and it is at 7.5. Water is really clear too. Thanks and have a great Sunday!
