The shock might be the reason your ph is high. I have salt and if I need additional chlorine I use bleach or liquid chlorine (stronger bleach)



No, even through the winter I'd check and my PH slides up. I've read it has to do with the mineral content of fresh diamondbrite. It stays within range, but it is a constant slide upward.

That’s my understanding too and I’ve seen the same.

Do you test for CYA levels? I think that’s what’s impacted most by repeated use of shock, if it has Trichlor or Dichlor in it. If what you’re using is just a concentrated chlorine, then it shouldn’t have an effect.
