Increasing pH with aeration using Little giant pump

[Kaptain]

As the subject says I have a little giant pump that I use for removing water from my pool cover.
I have considered using this to aerate my pool as I have seen others make similar contraptions.
My concern is that I used this thing to remove nasty rain water and other organics from my cover, I feel dirty putting it into my clean pool water. Or is this no different than allowing a sweaty teenager swim?
I also have a "trash" pump that I use for draining my hot tub but I feel it's a bit overpowered for aeration.

Why do you want to aerate? Just manage your pH and your TA will come down over time.
When you pH gets > 8.0 (purple hues), lower your pH in .4 increments, test 30 minutes later, repeat until you get to 7.2. Then leave it alone until your pH gets above 8 again. pH will rise naturally.
When your TA gets to 60-80, don't force pH down to 7.2. Only lower to 7.8 and it should be fairly stable between 7.8 and 8.0.

With a 150 of 150 your pH will rise rapidly.

I'm trying to reduce my TA from 150 to 80
My idea is to add muratic acid to lower the pH to 7 and use the pump to aerate an bring pH back up.

You really don't need to. Just manage pH.

If you insist, here is the way.

Lowering Total Alkalinity (TA) Quickly with the Acid Aeration Method

Thought I'd make a post that might help others. We've had quite a few members this year with high TA, and I've been typing the same information over and over. I'm going to post this so I can link it to help others. High TA can cause rapid pH rise. High TA is typically caused by high TA fill...
