    Low TA, But pH is Happy

    Thanks. I will bring up the CH. I wanted to give any residual calcium from the walls time to go into solution with the water. I think I've given it enough time. Just want to do it carefully because I don't want to do RO again or drain and fill anytime soon. Thanks, Doug

    Can you help me decide? My wife and and just bought a house with a pool and inherited a pool guy who we kept on because I just didn't have the time to deal with it. Now that I've learned so much more thanks largely to this forum, I know that I can do it myself and I also know my pool's...
