I have 300 TA, 7.4 pH fillwater. Beginning of season I bring down the TA to 50 otherwise it is a huge battle with pH. I understand that aeration increases the pH as CO2 is released from the water. If I didn’t have any fresh water coming into the pool due the splashes and evaporation etc at some point CO2 should be depleted or at least chemical balance should be established so that net CO2 release should be zero. Am I right on this one? Secondly why do I have CO2 in my fillwater? We use underground water. Is it common for water to be so rich in CO2?
