Do you have water fountains or features that might be contributing to this constant pH rise?

Nope. Only thing remotely resembles such a thing are the two small returns on the top stair which churn the water pretty well. But it's not like they spray or splash.

md,
When I lower my TA I find that it works best for me to do it over and over every three or four hours.. I keep adding acid every time the pH gets to 7.3 and I drop it down to 7.0.
I keep a chart of the pH, TA, and how much acid I entered. It takes me about two days to get my TA from 100/110 to 60.. when I quit adding acid, but I keep aerating until my pH get back up to 7.6 or so.
I'm aerating the whole time of course.
My TA will slowly creep back up above 110 and then I have to do it again.. More in the summer when the SWCG is working hard and not so much in the winter.
I found that if I only did it once a day, it seemed to not have a lasting effect..
Thanks,
Jim R.

MD,
You have to have something to aerate... a water fall or you can make this...
In theory clicking the image will make it bigger....
Connects to one of your returns...

Makes sense. Just now gotta find the time to cobble that together.MD,

This pool is going to make me feel like a neurotic magician sooner or later.

The spillway is alright (check that - you have a raised spillway, that's even better than my piddly little near-waterlevel thing), but far, far better if you can turn on the spa jets while letting the spillway overflow into the pool. That's aeration heaven right there!
Dog,
I would think so, but it needs to be one where water flows like a waterfall vs. one where it just runs down the wall and into the pool. The idea is to generate a lot of bubbles.
