Any Fine Tuning?

[Modawg2k]

Hey everyone, after owning a pool for 4 years, I'm going into my first swim season actually knowing what is in my water. Over the past month I've been working at lowering my TA thru dropping pH and aerating w/ my water feature. I replaced an inoperable Intellichlor w/ a new one this past week so I'm fine tuning the output on that right now so my FC is currently a little on the high side as I make daily adjustments to get the right level).

Here are my numbers this morning. The only fine turning I was thinking about doing was getting the TA down to 60 to help slow my pH rise that is always constant. Any other thoughts? Thanks

FC 7
pH: 7.6
TA: 70
CYA: 70
CH: ~450 (AZ hard water, nothing I can really do about it but I watch my CSI which is @ -0.24)

I wouldn't bother with the TA adjustment. When pH gets to 7.8, knock it back down to 7.2. That will also lower the TA. No point creating extra work for youirself.

I agree, focus on pH, not TA.
