Hello everyone!
This is my first post and hopefully someone can help me before I go crazy.
This is the first year that I have opened my pool that was installed last summer and I can't get the TA lowered. I was told at the pool store that I need to lower the TA to lower the pH (which is also high in my water). My chlorine and stabalizer levels are perfect.
The guy at the pool store told me to add Muratic Acid to lower the TA. He told me to pour a 1/4 of a gallon in one spot and leave pool alone for 24 hrs and then test. I did what he said and nothing happened so I read a few websites and they told me to dilute the acid in a bucket of water and distribute throughout the pool when the pump is off, wait an hour and turn pump back on and then test water. I have done what the website said and have went through a gallon of Muratic Acid and NOTHING has lowered.
Someone PLEASE HELP! I would appreciate any suggestions.
