We recently filled up our pool about 6400gal, with well water, and have high TA. I have been trying to lower the TA with Muriatic acid (the percent is <25% as shown by msds). But doesn't seem to be doing much. It has lowered the pH a little, but not like what i thought. Is it better to keep adding it the same day until the pH is lowered, or just a little at a time.
Also the alkalinity showed atleast 240 on my test strip, but i imagine it is 300 or more.
starting stats:
pH ~8.5
TA ~300
I've already added about 90oz over 3 days.
stats now:
pH ~7.8
TA ~240
is there anything i should do different maybe try a better acid?
