I know this topic has been discussed a lot, but since every pool is different I thought I’d try to get some advice for my pool. My above-ground pool is 9500 gals. TA is at 70. PH seems to like to be around 8. I try to maintain it at 7.6 with muriatic acid, but after a couple of days it will be right back to 8+. I was thinking about lowering TA until PH stops climbing. As an added note: I plan to add some type of fountain/sprayer and run it at night to reduce the water temperature, as the pool becomes unpleasant in late July. I understand that spraying water will also raise the PH, which will make my battle with it even worse. Any suggestions?

pH 7.8 is as good as 7.6 and is less of a battle to maintain.
TA down to 50 is okay if you can get there.
Your fountain will undo all the good work to keep your pH down.
Life is full of compromises.
