Richard,
My pool was just finished 2 weeks ago, so I am learning how things work. I live in Tucson, so I am expecting a lot of evaporation, plus our water is pretty hard. I was wondering how the TA and pH you recommend helps with keeping the water soft, and I assume the scaling down.
You're at the upper limit of what's actually manageable for CH. It will require maintaining low TA and low pH to prevent scale formation. I keep TA 50-60 and pH below 7.5, always targeting 7.2 when I add acid. I'm just waiting for some rain so I can soften up my pool water.
