TA question

Guys

I am currently reading this below:

TA - Further Reading

www.troublefreepool.com

It is written:

" If the water has too much alkalinity, then the pH will change very slowly and, in the case of excess carbonate alkalinity (which all pool water has), there will be upward pressure on the pH to constantly rise (the chemical reactions that govern this are explained in more detail in the forum threads). "

Does anybody know where the threads are?

Total Alkalinity

Hi. Total Alkalinity - does this buffer just the addition of acid, or does it also buffer the addition of a base (I'm assuming not - that's "acidity" right?) I understand that if water has a non-zero total alkalinity, it's pH (and TA) will drop when acid is added. The pH drop will be less so...
