Raising TA without raising pH?

[Ives6797]

Hello, I’ve tried to look, but only found products to lower both or raise both, not only one. It would appear as though my TA is a bit low (60) but my pH is not (7.5) so I can’t figure out how to raise the TA a little without also raising pH. Also wondering, if I were to use baking soda to raise TA, and pH went too high, could you then lower pH with “pH Down” products or wouldn’t that also lower the TA (I’m thinking it would and then be counterproductive!) TIA!

Welcome to the forum!
Take a look at our Pool school and you will find that TA and pH are just fine. No need for adjustment. In fact, many spa owners find they need a TA of 50-60 to keep the pH stable.
I suggest you read ABC's of Pool Water Chemistry.
