PH and TA "issue" (???)

what are the odds I need to keep adding acid?
looking at Runnings.com and pick up at store.

It's going to depend on splash out and refill with your high TA fill water.
If rain brought it down as significantly from your earlier post, I'd buy a gallon/two. MA doesn't deteriorate like bleach.
I've chosen not to aerate purposefully. Instead I just track the pH and whenever it exceeds 7.8 I bring it down to 7.0-7.2 using Pool Math. I've been at it 3 weeks and put my 5th gallon of MA in today. My TA started at 400+ (gave up as I figured I was just wasting reagent. Before this 5th gallon I was already down to TA 250. I am using a SWG so I know that is aerating my water. I can see many little bubbles from my returns when it runs. My pH is already rising more slowly. The first 2 gallons went in just 1 day apart. This time it was over a week to go from 7.2 to 8.0.
I need to test my personal well water to see if this problem will be recurring or if it was just initially from the truck water.

Thanks for the post. Surely test your fill water. Mine is 440 TA (or 400 without looking it up).
