I realise this topic has been covered before, so apologies for bringing it up again.
I’ve been trawling through the swimming pool section looking for advice. Unfortunately I know little or nothing about our pool so much of the info is going way over my head, but OH is in UK for a week and I’m left in charge (oh help!) with instructions on how to clean pool.

He has backwashed several times and hoovered several times but there is still s…
We’ll put in 5lts tonight. I thought that pushed up the pH even higher? Do we then bring the pH down? Or first go through the flocculent routine tomorrow and then do the pH later?
