    So, I'm wrapping up a year of having my AquaController and full-time pH monitoring. Throughout the majority of the year, my pH would swing from around 8.05-8.25, hardly every falling below 8 or above 8.3 in nominal conditions. When it did fall below 8, I knew it was time to replace my kalk in...
