I wanted to get the forum people thoughts on my TA. Based on reading other posts, I'm getting the understanding that the TA is not as critical as the others. My TA likes to stay around the 125 & 150 marks. Everything else is in line with where it needs to be and the pool is TFP clear. Should I worry about getting it to the 60-90 range since everything else seems to stay in line?

Here's are my latest results:
FC=4.0 - added 96oz liquid chlorine to get it up to 8.0
CC=0
PH=7.4
TA=125
CH=450
CYA=50
TEMP=70
CSI=.04

No, leave it. If you are frequently pushing the pH as low as it is now, the TA will get lower all by itself from the acid additions.

Nope. Nothing to do.

I would keep your FC higher and stay away from minimums. Always follow this, so when you TEST you are in range. Don't want to test lower than range and add to get back to range. Link-->FC/CYA Levels
