So, I just had my water tested, as I have been fighting algae for quite some time. (couple weeks) THe pool store said my TA is 92 which is considered low. THey recommended adding 9 lbs of baking soda. My ph is 7.6. I have a vinyl pool. I see on here it says 90 is max. for TA. I'm now confused. We have had a lot of rain in the last week. My chlorine is very high. I've been shocking on a regular basis trying to get rid of the algae. Should I add this much baking soda??
