As I add more muriatic acid, I'm regularly adding baking soda to keep the alkalinity level. I understand I may need to stop raising the alkalinity and let it drop to 60.
This being said, when you folks mention the alkalinity level, are you talking about the raw measurement or the CYA-corrected one?
With my test kit, I measure 125ppm of Alkalinity. But given that my CYA is 70 (I know, too high, but that's another story), I understand my corrected alkalinity is 125 - 70/3 = 102. Which one should I let drop until 60, the measured one or the corrected one?
