Starting up

Cleaned with ahh-some
Filled the tub
Taylor k-2006 test kit
Ph -7.0
TA - 190
CH - 280

Muriatic acid to lower the TA and keep running the jets correct?

Once the TA is down to 50, put the sodium bromide in to get my bank, then chlorine then bromine pucks?

I already did. I was confirming I was correct in what I read.

Do I keep repeating the MA process until my TA is at 50? I followed the pool calculator but it didn’t drop my TA to 50? I wasn’t sure if I could keep putting MA in.

It takes multiple cycles. Every time you add MA it reduces the TA a bit. Then you aerate using the jets to raise pH. Repeat until your TA is to target.

Thank you! It took me all day but I’m at 50!
Thank you for all of your help!
