Saltwater pools are amazing, but one thing nearly every pool owner runs into is rising pH. In this episode, I’ll explain why pH tends to drift up in saltwater pools, and more importantly, how you can control it. From aeration and salt cell activity to practical strategies like acid dosing, CO₂ systems, and borates, I’ll share the real-world fixes that actually work. If your pH feels like it’s always on the rise, this episode is your go-to guide.
