I have a new 3 month old pool
Roughly 20k gallons, In-ground Pebbletec
Jandy ePump VS, Jandy cartridge filter, Aquapure SWG, Nature2 Mineral, ColorQ Pro 7 test kit.
Run pump 24hrs/day at 1250, 4hrs/day at 2250 (waterfall), manually turn up for cleaner
Settled the SWG to 15% which gives me a constant 2ppm. Pool is super clean. Electricity usage is not bad at all.
I usually check chemicals on Friday after work. I almost always have to add an entire gallon of muriatic acid because my alkalinity and pH are both either high 8 or the test kit just says: HIGH.
I thought it was from leaching of the pebbletec, but I would think it should have settled down by now. I was reading that SWGs create high pH naturally through the process and pH will always be a battle?
Is this normal?
Is it because I run the SWG 24/7?
Will I have to add a gallon of muriatic acid every week for the rest of my life?
Any advice is appreciated!
Thanks!
