I used the same percentage of Golden Promise in a beer this weekend and noticed the same effect with a lower pH measured than predicted. Luckily I started with only 1ml of lactic acid instead of 3 ml that I was going to add, then checked ph after 20 minutes or so and it was 5.35. I think AJ is...

I've been reading through the forums and can't find a similar scenario. I currently have a 120v control panel with two separate circuits; one for the pumps and one dedicated for the HERMS. Now I want to upgrade to 240V. I recently discovered that I have a 240V location at the pool pump timer...
