My TA is 70 my Borate level is 30-50. For three weeks now my PH has been 7.5 7.6. It's like it hit a wall...How long have you went without adjusting your PH?
PH is TOO stable?

Three seasons.
My pH stays at 7.4, the only thing I add to my pool is chlorine. I consider myself lucky.
TA is 80ppm, no borates.
I have yet to need to adjust this season (open 1 month) and last year with new pool, only adjust 3 times over 6 months, and that includes getting it correct initially.
Some people have it, but most have to adjust. I wish I didn't but it's all in your makeup water...too bad for me.
I bought the autopilot total control last year because I wanted to be able to install the PH sensor and pump if I found myself having to adjust a lot. So far not an issue, but figure since unit was same cost as one without that option, made sense to go that way.
Count yourself lucky. There are quite a few folks who haven't adjusted their pH in years. And then there are the other billion of us who have to work it. 
I have read that some people don't have to adjust that often but didn't think it would level out this quick being my first real season open. I opened March 26th for the first time. I will say though that I researched all winter getting ready. Maybe I learned something from you great folks! Im sure it is my water makeup though...but Ill tell my wife it is me...

Without borates and lowering TA, using acid and aeration, mine would be three or four times a week. Now, I count myself lucky to get through a couple weeks without adjusting pH, and a couple months without adjusting TA. Yep, it's all about fill water and evaporation rates.

Last two years PH went up after being closed. Brought down to 7.5 at opening and stayed there all year. Hope I have the same luck this year.
