Good morning!
The title says it all. I'm getting ready to lower my TA due to crazy calcium levels and high temps...welcome to Arizona. Even though I fully drained in February to lower calcium I'm already at 750 again. Temp is 92 and watergram says to run and 7.1 or so which sucks because it tries to be at 8. TA is now 80. I feel like when I took it down before it was to 40 or so but I can't remember. The lower the better so how low can I go?

Also this is a new pool and it's been forever since I have done this. Since PH needs to be at 7.1 just to be in balance, how much lower than that do I need to take it for the TA to chase? I have no water feature in this one so I'm having to buy a fountain of some kind for aeration.

Pool has been sparkly since I found you guys so TIA again for any input.
Thanks,
Christi
 
We recommend no lower than 50 for TA.

We use CSI for scaling, not LSI (watergram). You can download Pool Math to your phone, configure your pool, enable track temperature and CSI...and pool math will calculate your CSI. Link-->PoolMath
 
When you add your fill water, you are adding 130 ppm TA water. So getting the TA lower is a challenge.

You really need to find a way to use softened water for fill water.
