Is there a PoolMath manual or user's guide?

Are you clicking the big plus at the bottom then selecting Log test results?

I think clicking on one of the “measures” on that Home Screen just allows you to put values in and it will tell you how much chemical to add to get from the current value to target value.
Every time you test, add chemicals, or brush, vacuum etc you can “log” using the big plus button.
When you then click on the logs button you can see all of the things you have ever logged (and also change them if you’ve added them wrongly, I’ve logged a chemical addition of 1000g of Dichlor before when I meant 1000ml of bleach)

No probs…. Errr … Just noting my screenshot again, it is also possible to be lazy and not log your maintenance, honestly my vacuuming and brushing isn’t really 272 days overdue

I also tested much more recently than 8d ago for chlorine. I’m just lazy logging these as the pool is still in early season slow startup mode until temps here in London Uk get warmer!!

(I put fresh water in and am using dichlor whilst it’s too cold to swim to bring the cya up before I switch to liquid chlorine)

Do not become a slave to the robot.

Take the flags as reminders, not commands.

There are no prizes for being ideal.

Consider if PoolMath reminders make sense for your pool.

Any pH in the 7s is equally good.

Your numbers are fine!

Generally, you can ignore TA. Just keep pH in the 7s. pH will naturally rise. When it gets to 8, lower to about 7.4 with Muriatic Acid. When you do it will lower TA. pH will rise again. Over time, through this cycle, TA will naturally correct.

Looks like, to me, you are in great shape!!!!

I guess I meant, let your ph rise from there, when gets to 8, lower to 7.4 and repeat…

TA isn't going to rise as pH rises. It may rise when adding water due to evaporation if your fill water TA is higher than your pool water TA.

You can do what you are suggesting. CO2 outgassing is what causes pH rise. TA and pH are the biggest pressures on CO2 outgassing. Higher TA and Lower pH will both force higher rates of outgassing. CO2 outgasses at the fastest rate between 7.0 and 7.2.

As @proavia indicated, TA will not rise with the natural pH rise. The way to lower TA without getting into YO-YO cycles (trying to lower TA with chemicals, is that it drives pH down, then you add something to raise pH, which raises TA) is to manage pH (let it rise naturally), then reduce it with Muratic acid. MA will reduce pH and TA. Natural pH rise will not raise TA.

We recommend that you manage pH and don't worry about TA, it will come down over time. Keep pH in the 7s. With a higher TA, your pH will naturally rise. When pH gets to 8, reduce it to whatever you want. 7.4 is safe for most people...keeps them away from getting into the 6s and causing other issues. If you know your pool, certainly you can lower to 7.0 and cycle to 7.4 and back again. Depending on how you are chlorinating...TA and pH will find its equilibrium (manageable MA additions). With LC, generally 60-80 TA and pH somewhere between 7.6-7.8 (maybe 8) it will settle down and the pH rise with be easily managed. With SWCG, you may find that you need to go as low as 50 TA and let pH settle at 7.8-8.0, sometimes even 8.2.

My point is, manage your pH. Your TA will come down over time. If you find that your MA additions are really difficult to manage, follow the instructions below for "lower Total Alkalinity".
