I'd also like to add that my CPO instructor (I took the class in April of 2011) explained to us that the "slugging method" or acid column was an appropriate way of reducing Alk. From what I've read and heard it's been debunked and makes no difference other than a possible way to etch your pool! http://www.poolhelp.com/handouts/oB_Aci ... andout.pdfI guess it varies from teacher to teacher though.
