Re: Increased Ph 8.0? Should I decrease and if so, how?

You are welcome!!!
Have you ever tried going a little higher with your FC goal? With a CYA of 80, I would consider that.

You're bordering on the low end of the range with 6. Trying to stay at 8-9 might be better. But if your pool does well with a lower goal, that's fine!

Last year I had the CL higher bout 10-12 and it smelled like bleach really bad! Everyone smelled like it as well. That's why I'm trying to stay on the lower end this season. Thanks for all your help.

I maintain CYA at 80 and have never noticed much smell, if any, even with FC levels twice that (during a shock).
