I'm going to be building me an aerator this weekend that will go into my Jet port to start raising my pH so I can then add Muratic acid to bring it and the TA back down.
Current test results:
FC: 7.0
CC: 0.5
pH: 7.4
TA: 190
CH: 60
CYA: 40
CSI: -0.670
My questions before I get started are:

My questions before I get started are:
- Is there any reason to rush this process to bring the TA down? From what I have read, I don't believe there is, but want to confirm
- How do you control the TA and pH with fountains and water features in pools when you have them both in ideal ranges? I plan to turn the jet port into a fun water fountain so that the kids can enjoy it and I can work on the TA. However, as I know my kids once I get the TA under control they will still want me to put the fountain in every now and then for fun and it will continue to raise the pH and not the TA.
- Are there any "Do/Don't do this or that" I should be aware of when developing an aerator? I'm a fluid dynamic Engineer and will be developing it to optimize flow rate and velocity with the pressures that my pump develops. I also plan to have a small jet still come out under water to help maintain some underwater circulation. Anything else?
