Hi,

I have a concrete indoor pool with a coverstar electric cover. I have been battling with pool water chem for several months now. My PH is bright pink 8.0 or higher on my taylor test kit. Total Alk is 100ppm. The water is clear and there is no scaling or calcium build up on the pool or equipment. Should i try and get lower PH or just go with it?

I found Ben's article on how to get correct PH/ALK by aeration and have employed this technique while keeping the cover open.

However, i don't understand how i can have high PH and correct Total ALK.

Thoughts on how to get lower PH and correct Alk?

Thanks in advance,

Bob Lentz
