I would like to lower my TA from 100 down to 80. I have lowered the PH to 7.2 and set-up a single fountain to aerate as best I can. It has been about a week now with minimal movement in the TA reading (Initailly 105). I have had to add 6-13oz of muriatic acid every 2-3 days to keep PH at 7.2. I read in my Jandy Aqua Pure (SWG) manual that the SWG will buffer PH to maintain approx 7.6.
I didn't figure it would not be that big a deal to drop it 25 ppm.
My question is.... Is the continued use of a SWG advisable during the TA lowering process (add acid & aerate)? An excellent article here on TFP indicated that a SWG assists with the aeration process, so I am hesitant to stop the SWG. I feel I am basically adding acid to counteract what the SWG is producing.
I am considering lowering my temporary PH goal to 7.0 and adding a couple more aeration devices I saw referenced (pictured) in the TFP article mentioned above. But before I do that I thought maybe it best to check with those more knowledgeable on the subject.
FC=4.5-5.0
CC=0.0
PH=7.2
TA=100
CH=490
CYA=70
Salt=3400
Temp Fluctuating between 80-85
