I am despairing of ever getting my ph to the optimum level. I don't chase it, I only check it once a week, I have not used a ph lock product. TA is about 100. Every week I check it when the Free chlorine is low so it does not bleach out the strip, and it usually is 6.8. I add the correct amount of PH up according to the bottle, wait a week, and it is right back at 6.8
This has got to be driving my TDS up. Does anyone else have this problem? The ph one, I mean.
