TA question

[tshepball]

Should I be concerned about TA being a little high with the other numbers almost spot on?

FC 7
pH 7.6
TA 100
CH 350
CYA 70
CSI first box-.26 2nd box -.34
Water Temp 63
Salt 3700
I run 3 rock ports an hour a day that does provide a little aeration. Pump is run 4 hours a day also with SWG set to 75%

Good question. What does Pool Math say?

My TA is 120 but Pool Math doesn't tell me to lower it.

T,

My understanding is that as long as your pH is happy and your CSI is ok then the exact TA number is not as important.

In my case, I find that as my TA gets up in the 110/120 area that I have to add acid more often to keep the pH at 7.8 or below. I then reduce the TA to about 50/60 and use aeration to bring pH back up. My TA will slowly creep back up over a period of time, when I have to do it all over again..

^^ Jim is correct. ^^ You are slightly over the TFP recommended TA level, but as long as your pH is settled and doesn't seem to rise too quickly, you should be good. Poolmath gives me a CSI number of -0.24 which is good (balanced) as well. Keep doing what you're doing. It seems to be working well.
