Used a Phosban reactor.
PH was 6.8 in Jan. Installed a ceiling fan to extract moisture; and opened windows. Added scrubber about 2 weeks ago with little bit of media and its 7.7 today. Hoping to get steady PH of 8.3.

Heater is on since it has a separate controller. My backup heater is set to auto. Skimmer i forgot to switch it back to auto since I just cleaned the cup. Thanks for noticing it.

Awesome! Im on week 2 and half since installing ice cap scrubber. I replaced the media last Saturday because I was getting lower lows. Weirdly, still getting lower pH, but my highs have been consistent.

First 2 weeks of the scrubber it was a steady 7.95 to 8.25
Now 7.88 to 8.25
