Hello, this morning around 8a I tested my water and found that my pH and TA were high at 8.0+ and 230 respectively. I used Pool Math to calculate the appropriate amount of muriatic acid to lower the pH to 7.1; that amounted to 134 ounces of acid. The plan was to aerate after that to bring pH up. At about 5:30p this evening I re-tested. pH is at 7.5 but TA is still high at 200.
Any recommendations? Should I keep adding muriatic acid until the TA is low enough?
