Help with TA

[reneec]

I just opened my pool yesterday and it looks fantastic. It is clear, just added some bleach.

Did my first set of tests and am concerned because my TA is 220. The rest of my readings seem ok
FC .5
CC 0
TC .5
PH 7.8
CYA above 20

I have added some more bleach to raise the FC.

My pool TA was fine when I closed in the fall. I am wondering if my chemicals could be bad. They are from last year.

I have a vinyl inground pool.

Thanks for the help.

Yes, your TA could come down. Acid additions to control your pH should do it. Here's a link on how to lower your TA.
