Why is TA recommended at 60-80ppm in Salt Water Pool (Vinyl Liner) and not higher? What are the consequences of raising it to say 120ppm
 
With SWG's the PH level has a tendency to increase. The lower TA level is to help with PH not increasing so quickly. With higher TA levels the PH level tends to increase quicker thus the reason for lower TA levels. TA is a buffer for PH.

When PH levels are pretty stable with a slow increase the TA is in a good spot whatever the TA level is.
