We had to add muriatic acid again since our TA level was way way high yet again after having to add water over the weekend. We had water loss due to evap and lots and lots of swimming and splashing. Kids were making huge waves in the pool and we had a lot of splash out. I also like to keep our water level just a smidge above the middle of the skimmer.
So our levels yesterday were
FC 7
pH 7.6
TA 205
CH 275
CYA 25- haven't added anything yet, was more worried about TA
So we added the acid- 2 gallons and then rechecked this morning. We were told by our pool store ( we actually do like them) to add the 2 gallons since our TA level was so high and we have borates in the pool that it would be harder to lower TA, so we would need more acid.
Our levels this morning
FC 6
pH 7.2
TA 150
So my questions are:
Do we need to aerate? If so, how long? Or will pH come up a little on it's own? Or should i add some borax? I plugged our numbers into pool math and it said to add 104oz of 20 mule team borax to raise pH, but won't that raise TA?
Do we want to add some stabilizer? We do have some pucks that we can use. We've just been using liquid chlorine for the most part. I think we've used maybe 5 pucks or so since we got our pool installed and that was before going to liquid chlorine.
I feel like we are going to be constantly battling high TA since our fill water is high, so I want to make sure I know how to aerate, how long etc based off our levels at the time.
Hope that makes sense.
Thank you!!!!
