Hello, Last year I struggled a little bit with aeration. We have a 14000 gallon above ground pool at 24' round. With that being said there were times I needed to lower TA. I believe I read baking soda was a bad method as I think I remember people saying it can cause cloudy water. With that said I will be using borax as an addition this year. other than that its pretty much just chlorine additions for slamming when needed and I'd prefer to stay as chemical free as possible.
We tried the sprinkler for aeration last year and it didnt even raise the PH, then as another way around it I said screw it and turned on the compressor and lowered a brick in with an air nozzle and that didnt do anything to the PH after like 5 hours.
I feel defeated with aeration right now. What are some things or products you use to aerate that work well? Any recommendations for me on this at all? I know TA isn't an important value but I wanted to try aeration to play around with the chemistry a little bit.
So far this years start has been our quickest. Started today and been working throughout the day testing andd we are ready to start slamming in a couple days once the cyanuric dissolves completely.
