My Intex AGP has a single nozzle pushing water into the pool. Outside of the pool is a valve built into that jet assembly with an optional rubber cap. When the cap is on, no air bubbles go into the water stream. With the cap off, air gets inserted. It is a lot like how a spa works. In my 500 Gallon spa, if I use a lot of the "air jets" mode, my TA will go down. Is this relationship correct or is it my imagination?
The pool school says, "...higher TA levels combined with aeration will tend to raise the PH. The ideal TA level depends on your source of chlorine, and in many cases doesn't need to be at all exact
I always error on the higher side of TA in an attempt to stabilize the pH and because I don't want it to "spike low" if I get busy and don't test the waters. But now this aeration concept has me curious about my pool.
When should I cap the port on my AGP versus letting it suck in air and bubble away? My guess is to use the aeration sparingly when not using the pool much and it is covered. What do you think?
What got me down this path was a constant, all be it slow, increase in pH of my SW pool.
