We have an 18,000 gallon salt water pool and the TA has been 220-over 300 for 2 weeks now!!! I have added 6 gallons of muriatic acid - and still NO CHANGE!!! One pool store told me to dilute it - which I did; then went to a 2nd pool store that said "put it in full strength" - so I did that too! Any other suggestions?!?!?
Total Alkalinity (TA)

- Start date
A high TA will take some time and/or effort.

Lower Total Alkalinity
A lower Total Alkalinity level can help a pool owner stabalize their pH increase. We'll explain how to lower TA with a little help from muriatic acid.

Can you share a complete set of test results and add details about the test kit you're using in your signature?
Hopefully monitoring pH along the way?

Definately avoid the pool store and their advice. As you can tell they can't even get their act together about how to dispense a product.
Curious to see your response to some of the questions above so we can help better guide you. A little more info and we can definitely help you out.
