    Can't raise pH above 7.4

    Yes, we are using the Taylor K-2006C kit. Yes, we are using the R-0004 in the large comparator and this morning I went and borrowed my neighbors test kit and got the almost the same results. His said the alkalinity was 230 and pH was 7.4. I think at this point we will just close the pool with...

    Can't raise pH above 7.4

    Should I have more of an arc or push it more under water. Is this good enough or should I put more of an arc on the water?

    We are new pool owners and just had our pool installed. We have extremely hard water and used a prefilter to filter the iron out. Our pool is green from copper. How do we get the copper out of the water? Do I balance our water first or do I need to get the copper out? The only stuff we have...
