Hi guys,
So I have been having an absolutely fabulous first summer with my pool thanks to TFP. Perfect crystal clear smooth water all season. Very easy maintenance. Now I am getting to a point where I want to be sure I am doing things right.
My water in drifting up in PH and TA.
CYA: 30
FC: 4
CC: 0
Ph: 7.8
TA: 150
CH: 270
Temp about 78 degrees
So slowly my pool has gone from TA of 90 to 150 and PH of 7.2 to 7.8 since I opened in in late May.
So I know I can add dry or muriatic acid to lower the PH, but how much do I need to worry about the TA. I know I can aerate once PH is low 7.0-7.2, but should I lower my PH that far? I want to minimize time that I can't swim if possible.
My plan is to go ahead and add acid, but I am just not sure how far to lower my PH.
Advice?
