Ive always heard that a TSP cleaning leaves the system on the alkaline side, which is preferred?

@ethicalpaul Good job! LOL
I was consulting on a project where the water was high alkaline. They had the old sections in the parking lot and i was able to break them with my hands. Kinda made me feel like Superman

how high do you think it was, and how did it get that high…over time it seems like it would tend back toward neutral unless they had a broken treatment adding system or something
