Ph question?

[kissman]

Do you still test it? I am placing an order and was thinking of getting a PH meter digital. But I can honestly I havent tested PH in years. Its never been an issue? Is it important to check after you get to a point? If I have never had an issue should I spend the $20? Why should I test for it if ite never been a problem? I do use 2 part so I keep my alk level which should keep my ph constant

i monitor my ph because i have had issues with low ph during winter months caused by C02 buildup.

I like to monitor mine only when I add something new...meaning like dosing and wat not

I have a meter in the water 24/7 so I can read it as I go by. It is useful for me to know that the limewater ATO is functioning properly without having to check it. :)
