Thanks in advance for any advice!
Im struggling to get my PH above 7.8 to 8 on a good day. Ive considered putting in a Air exchange unit for the furnace anyway because my house is newly built with foam insulation in the walls (not ceilings). My fish room does not have any cold air returns or any registers. I'm considering putting both in the room to see if it helps my PH.
Things to note:
I have my skimmer plumbed with outside air and this didnt help much.
my Fish room and my utility room are basically in the same room. I have a total of 1200 gallons. I have roughly 70sqft of surface water.
I have a exhaust fan running on a humidistat and a commercial dehumidifier to keep humidity around 40
I'm running a High efficiency Furnace and high efficiency tankless water heater in the utility room.
The Water heater is vented and supplied with outside air.
The Furnace is vented outside (PVC) and should not be allow much Co2 into the room, but I am sure it does let some in. I also have all the duct work sealed throughout the home.
My home is 4000 sqft. 2 adults and 2 children and a dog.
My thoughts are that since im having trouble with the PH. I put the register and cold air return in and cycle some of the air from my house. The house air should be better than the air that is in the fish room now.
Any thoughts?
