High Ph

wrote: Hal, KH is less complicated and easy to fix as you state - with baking soda. pH will level out at 8.4 with baking soda... in fact, I've been told it is difficult to overdose the baking soda. One thing in its use .... add about half a lb. mixed in pond water every other day.  Depending on the size of the pond. Can we compromise with Suggested dose 1/3 pound per 1000 gallons? That will raise KH by 20 ppm. or about 1 degree. You can continue that as many days as necessary to get the pH stable. Regards, Hal
