According to https://www.compass-pools.co.uk/learning-centre/news/the-complete-guide-to-swimming-pool-maintenance/: ... "Your weekly tasks should include: ... Checking the pH levels and adjusting the water balance ... The ideal pH rating of swimming pool water is between 7.0 and 7.6. Anything lower than 7.0 and metals and pool finishes can start to corrode, while anything above 7.8 and there can be issues with scaling due to calcium salts in the water and chlorine becoming ineffective." And for comparison of different pH values, see for example the examples chart at https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/z38bbqt#zb2kkty There are several other sites that can easily be found that say something about variation and correction of pool pH levels.

Perhaps we should all ask Lord Ali to help out as he does seem to help out those that make these charges? -
I find it worrying that the pH problem was considered bad enough for the pool to be closed. Something must either have been wrong with the water going into the pool in the first place, or something was added afterwards which shouldn't have been, or in the wrong quantity? Whatever, surely there should be checks every time a change of any kind is made to the water, and appropriate action taken? Or was this closure a result of such a check? In which case, I wonder what went wrong?
