I have not had this problem before. Refilled the spa yesterday and initial TA 230. I did the acid/aerate routine a few times and I think I was over-zealous with this. Since my pH was getting less variable, I checked the TA again, and when I was putting the 5 drops of R-0008 in the tube, the water turned red instead of green with about the second drop. I figured I did something wrong and repeated the process, but I got the same result. What should I assume my TA is? Thanks in advance, TFP is the best resource ever. Chris
