Drats, TA is too high

[Johnny B]

My pool is requiring a little more acid than I wish, which happened to me before, the solution then was to lower the TA to 50 and things behaved much better all summer long, but that time I just let the TA fall by itself and this year that's not really happening as quick as I would like & I don't want to keep adding acid every 3-4 days
I want to lower the TA to 50 and just thought I'd run things by you guys to be sure I'm not missing something & that you don't have your usual excellent advice

6-20-2014
pH 7.6
FC 7
CC 0
TA 60-65 (TA was 70 on 6/2/2014 = 18 days ago)
Target TA 50: To lower TA you reduce pH to 7.0-7.2 with acid and then aerate to increase pH
CH was 350 on 6/2/2014 = 18 days ago
CYA Targeted 50 on 5/11/2014= 40 days ago
borates 0
79° F
CSI: balanced

Thanks
