Water balancing

I know this is a personal preference.

Would you bother dropping TA?

current use has pH bounce 7.4 to 8.
FC 2.0 (adding half gallon of 12.5% when done swimming)
CC 0.0
TA 180
pH 7.6
CYA 40

AGP radiant 30’
21,200 gallons
South side of house

As your ph rises, add muriatic acid to lower it. The TA will drop also. No need to try and lower independently.

Thanks. Reading here I was under the impression I need to drop pH to 7.0-7.2 then aerate or I would be chasing pH.
Last year I never added MA.
this year I’ve been through two gallons already.

Slow and steady works too, areate if your bored. Either way your pool wlll eventually find a balance between TA and PH where the PH is either stable or at least rises slower. Mine likes 7.2 to 7.4. PH. Some run higher 7.6 or 7.8 or so.

That’s how mine was last year.
7.2-7.4 and never moved.
TA 120-140.
I like stability in my life LOL.
