    I agree with Mom and Dave! My reasoning is that the alk is a buffer for moving the pH and therefore it will be easier to adjust with less buffer present in the water - as a correlary, it seems that with a lower alk, you'd need to use less acid to get the desired drop in pH. (anyone care to comment on my reasoning?)

    Having done construction and service for 4 pool companies in 4 states starting in 1988, what I know about pools could fill a couple of books - what I don't know could fill libraries
