Welcome to our forum.
I recently started using the Taylor kit to get a better ph reading and still have trouble maintaining a good ph. Â According the the store, getting the alk right is the first step, which i did. Â Over the course of three days, I used nearly a full bottle of ph down and still can't get too the "ideal" reading which I think is 7.4, right?The guy says i might be worrying too much and as long as it is not bright red in the kit and under 8.0, I should be happy. Â Anyoe agree?
I suggest trying the "Lock" to see how it works for you. Â It reduced the amount of adjustments I've had to make on my spa.
Plain old white vinegar is safe to use to bring the PH down.
