I have been testing then dosing if the range isnt dark yellow or orange then brushing. Sounds like I need to retest after I brush. Should I do this immediately after I brush or let it settle a bit then test? I have actually done this several times a day when I have time to stay on top of it. I was looking into getting a better pump. Do you think this could be an issue in my situation?
Just tested water again 2:00 pm. Chlorine: 0. Ph: 6.8.
Btw, my ph was 6.8 yeaterday evening instead of 7.2
Just now added 4.26 gallons, brushed the pool then rechecked. Chlorine: orange, ph was high, around 8.2. Looks as though the ph is fluctuating based on chlorine.
