Got the pool (18 x 48 above ground) all set up. I'm working on making it clear. it's pretty good now, but a little cloudy. according to the test strips, my ph is low and my alkalinity is high. ive been adding ph minus to try and balance it. I fill with well water, and when I start, ph and alkalinity are both high, very high. the only thing I have seen that lowers alkalinity is ph negative, but now I'm at a point where my ph dropped below what I want, but the alkalinity is still high. any suggestions? If it matters, I'm running a sand filter and a saltwater chlorine generator. the last couple years I've had it very clear, but this year I'm fighting it a little more.

Nice to finally meet you tonight. Make sure you tell me who you are again next time you come in. I will probably forget.
Let me know when you are dropping in again and I'll make sure we have more of those beverages around!
This northern boy needs a little help with this one.
Dried up kill hole in the duck timber?
Quicksand that all the deer fell into?
Cool lighting in a forest that’s so different from ours?
I’ve never been in the AR woods before but you’ve arrived by the looks of it.
Good luck.
