New to this forum, new to pool maintenance...
...I started caring for my in-laws pool with baquicil this summer. This was their idea from last year. Long story short, I found you all and I converted them (mentally then physically) to the TFP methods. Baquicil gone, sand changed, FC/TC/CC levels now balancing out nicely and water is crystal clear! TYVM!!!!!!
My troubles now seem to rest with balancing TA and PH. It seems ones up and ones down and vise versa. Raising TA to help maintain PH then raises PH which needs to come down which drops TA, seems no win. Then no matter what, aeration kicks it in the butt regardless. Am I missing something or just overcomplicating it?
TIA

I will mention that it has been SUPER uncharacteristicly warm here in the north east, 90's+ for weeks without rain. I know that is factor.
