TA and pH

[carsnkids]

I just drained and refilled my pool. The city water here is not bad, and the pool looked ok after the fill. I have been working on balancing the water with this forums advice, and these are my current results:
pH: 7.2
TA: 130
FC: 4
CH: 175
CYA: 30
Salt: 1200 (no SWG) added for feel

Obviously I still need some work, but I am unsure about dropping the TA without also dropping the PH. I have always had low PH, and have tried raising it with aeration without any results. Also I put in a 4lb box of Borax, but realized I don't have any Borate test, so no more for now. What do you guys think?

What do you use to chlorinate your pool?

If your pH is low then your TA is fine. Any pH in the 7s is ok. So don’t worry about either right now.

Use PoolMath and have it calculate your Calcium Saturation Index (CSI) - Trouble Free Pool

Since I replaced the water I am using liquid chlorine.
