I filled my pool with well water that has a sulphur smell and 300 plus alkalinity I have been adding muratic acid about every 4-5 days to bring ph back to 7.2 but alkalinity seems to not be lowering any suggestions?

Yes I have to get a set FC is on the high side the sulphur smell is gone just wondering if that is why the well water alkalinity is so high

I read somewhere to add the acid to the pool with the filter off so it can get a better bite on the compounds making the TA high they said do this for about 30 min then start the filter. What do you think?
