New to SWG, TA question

[JimTMich]

I just ordered a RJ45+ after years of liquid, pucks, and cal-hypo.
I read the opening on SWG chemicals and see that 60-80TA is important.
I'm currently at 140TA, 7.0pH (and just started airating to bring pH up), 50 CYA, 160CH.
I'm going heavy on the pucks right now to bring the CYA up to 80. (thus the pH falling)
So, do I need to bring the TA down before I operate the SWG? Or am I close enough?
Still need to add the salt.....
Thanks

With your low CH low TA is not as critical. It is all about scaling in your swcg.

So balancing to keep the CSI in the range is the key?

Yes - with a SWCG. Keep the CSI between 0 and -0.3 and you should get minimal to no scale in your SWCG.
