Hello
I am trying to lower TA per what I've read on the site. TA is 130 and I'm targeting 110. In my attempt to lower PH to 7.0-7.2, I have added 10-12 cups of MA. PH was 7.5-7.6 before adding MA. After waiting an hour or so, and re-testing PH, there is very little change.
Of note: I've added 1 gallon liquid chlorine today as well as Calcium chloride (25 lbs) to raise my CH level from 150 to 300 ppm. Also, in the summer months PH in my pool always tends to rise requiring frequent MA additions.
I'd prefer to get some input from the forum before continuing to add additional MA.
Thanks
