Lower Total Alkalinity
A lower Total Alkalinity level can help a pool owner stabalize their pH increase. We'll explain how to lower TA with a little help from muriatic acid.

If one dives deep enough into the Wiki, there are some important points that I feel should be included as a note on the above page that the average site peruser would more likely find:
"NOTE: Dry acid should NOT be used in plaster pools or pools with a SWG. Sulfates can damage concrete & plaster and degrade the coatings on SWG plates. Sulfates can only be removed by draining water."
(There is already a similar short note about this in the new Pool Math app descriptions for pH Down/Dry Acid.)
