Hello! I have a couple of quick questions:
1. Last night at around 6pm, I took a chlorine reading and my FC was 5.8. This morning at 8am I checked and the chlorine is 5.6. Is that a normal amount of chlorine loss overnight? Temp was around 78 or so.
2. My ph yesterday was a little high at 7.8 so I added acid to bring to optimal of 7.6. I checked at 8am and the ph is back to 7.8. Should ph fluctuate that much? Should I add acid everyday to bring it to 7.6? How often would you add acid? 7.8 is within the acceptable range so should I wait until ph reads around 8 before adding?
Thanks!
