On the last comment, I have fill water at pH 8.5 and TA ~250 !!!. (Coming from a well, and I tested our tap water, but I'll confirm on fill). Just using some rough rules of thumb, I'm guessing that to get to what I need, I'm going to be putting 10s of gallons of muriatic in the pool? And If I drop to 7.0 then aerate, thats going to take on the order of months to get balanced? Can this be right? And is there a faster way? I'll be doing this all summer...and get it done just in time to winterize...
Going to take months to get balanced?

Build an aerator. You can raise pH from 7.2 to 7.8 in a matter of hours. Then knock pH and TA down with acid and repeat.dbh369 said:

With numbers like that you are an excellent candidate for an automatic acid feed system.
Ha, found a$40 fountain for an aerator ;-). Acid feeder, do they worth with muriatic? Well guy has been trying to sell me a citric acid one...
