Welcome to our forum.
Wow, I never knew about that calculation. When my alk is low, I run the pump and sprinkle baking soda on top with no regard to measurements and stop when the whim hits me. It's amazing my levels keep turning up perfect at my monthly tests at the pool supply store as well as on the test strips.
;DI knew about the wisdom, but thanks for tossing in the finesse part. I always thought I was a little clumsy, especially in social settings!!!
