There is no such thing as no pH. Depending upon how sophisticated your test kit is you can have readings on the full spectrum of the scale. In other words you will always get a pH reading. Test the water and give us an actual reading in ppm. example: 8.0 or 6.8 or 7.5 ppm. Sounds like you need a lesson in basic pool maintenance. Get a how to book at the nearest Lowe's or Home Depot. Other wise you are in for a whole bunch of problems. k
