Why does your pond spike so high in PH..........

I have cement blocks around the edge, last year was the worst and they

Cement blocks like pavers or cinder blocks? I would have assumed that
anything underwater would have sealed over and anything above would have
aged sufficiently. Maybe the acid washing is keeping the blocks porous and
the leeching continues.
