I am very confused about what the correct TA range for my Viking Fiberglass Pool should be. The manufacturer's use and care manual (page 10) says, "The proper alkalinity is between 125 ppm and 150 ppm". However, I have always struggled with keeping my PH down to an acceptable level when the TA is this high, making it nearly impossible to balance the pool chemistry.
So this year, I decided to do some research, and nearly every website, blog, etc indicates that the TA should be 70-90+ (including the Trouble Free Pool blog). The lower TA range makes sense to me, since the PH needs to be between 7.4-7.6, and I have been pulling my hair out for years trying to balance it with the TA that high.
I would appreciate any suggestions regarding the correct TA level. Thank you in advance!
