Already aerating, haha. Plus topping off after vacuuming.
Don't want to take the chance adding baking soda considering my TA is already exactly where I want it. I know it doesn't typically raise TA much, but I do have a couple bags on hand just in case. Unless you think that reading might be false as well? I haven't noticed a difference in the past...
TA test shouldn't be effected by high FC, but you could put a drop or 2 of chlorine neutralizer in the sample before you start the test, just to eliminate dye bleaching.
I definitely understand that about the baking soda. Borax won't raise your TA as much as baking soda. But you don't want to constantly be adding borax either.
