Hi Steve, great video - as always! This season I added a CO2 system of my own design and it keeps the pH at a perfect 7.4 by running 20 minutes a day. Cheers!

We use a Hayward automation system to control pool pH. The system measures pool pH water passing past a probe. The Automation system computer then operates a small pump to deliver diluted muriatic acid to the piping running to the return jets. The acid is stored in a plastic tank and water is added to dilute.

I wear the long sleeves gloves when adding muriatic acid…. I try to hold my breath when pouring it; however, a mask is in my future…. Thanks Steve👍

Pool store employee states that the other acid does effect the alkalinity just the PH. I normally use baking soda to manage my alkalinity level

Muriatic acid. Baking soda. Liquid chlorine. Easy

Hey Steve, can you give an overview of the type of acid to lower your PH. so they had two types of acids on the shelf muriatic acid, which is the one I normally buy, but they also had another acid on the shelf liquid form to lower the pH, but not the alkalinity. Did not get the name type. Just wondering to see if it better to continue buying the one I normally get or should I give this other acid a try?

What year did the Hayward powerflo matrix came out

I can never keep my pool pH low enough (I aim for 7.6). It constantly creeps up to 8 despite adding 30% muriatic acid weekly. (Alkalinity is 100, Calcium 290, chorine 4, CYA 55, gunite pool, NOT salt water pool). Any thoughts?
-
I'm running into the issue with having a hard time finding the pure muriatic acid and not the "green" version which is weaker.

Ph minus from clorox works fine. Also adding water does good also.

Typo on previous comment It does not effect the alkalinity
