Can you take a look at my test #'s?

Hi, Courtney,

You sound like you have a good handle on your pool chemistry.

You're using about 3ppm daily of chlorine which seems a little higher than normal but I would not call it excessive.

AS I'm sure your know. reducing your Alk requires fairly low pH, (7.0) So I'd increase the acid dosage to keep it down there. Then, of course, aerate and re-add acid to get the pH back down in that 7.0 range.

Sounds like you're on your way....you'll really enjoy Ben's kit....everything gets much easier (including the Calcium test which looks a little suspect...unless you filled with a water softener)

It may take a little more acid to reduce the PH with high ALK. Put in the quart, then test about an hour later with the pump running to circulate OR brush it around - if no effect add a little more. You don't have to wait until the next day.
