Sorry, yes, my third thread in as many days! Different questions so it seems best to make a different thread for each. Hope that doesn't violate any forum rules.
I'm on my second fill w/my tub, followed the suggestion of my neighbor and adjusted hardness first. Now I'm having trouble getting my TA up. I got my CH to 150, TA started at 30 and after adding 1/4 cup of increaser (which should have raised it by 20ppm in my 420 gallon spa) and waiting overnight to test, it didn't budge. Now I'm noticing that most places recommend adjusting TA first. Did I blow it? Will it be hard to get the TA up w/my CH at 150? If so, any suggestions? Can I fix this, or should I just dump the water and start over? Or can I live w/a TA of 30 and just do it right the next time around?
