Instant Ocean salt check alk

[LeanneP]

I posted awhile ago about having trouble with Instant Ocean having high alkalinity and there were several people who responded saying they had similar readings of 16-19. I sent a sample to the head office so they could test it and they just sent me a new pail so I guess I was right. I would suggest checking alk. when starting a new pail just to be safe. It wouldn't change your alk over night but I continued using it and alk was continuing to get higher. Hope it helps someone. Leanne
