My ph is low and it laughs at Borax

[Unabomber007]

Just tested the ALK again after running the pump along with the robot for 2 cycles and it's 150 now. My wild guess turned out to be not too shabby. I added some more floc and I'll vacuum tomorrow and probably start working on pH and Calcium I guess. I'll have the pool store test my Calcium to triple check my kit and I guess I'll have to bite the bullet and buy their stuff as there is no "Walmart fix" for calcium that I know of.

Refresh to see above advice edit:

Thanks for the advice above....I guess tomorrow I'll go ahead and drain a bunch to stave off the CYA and keep a better eye on it. I used to be a testing ninja, but recently slacked off. I understand about the calcium issue....I'm having the pool store check it for me as well. That test over the years has gone from a high of 190 like 4 years ago down to like 40 last year. I (being honest here) never paid attention to it and it has been steadily going down over the years, which leads me to believe that it's now 0 vs. some ungodly number. So I'll have them check to be sure.
