    TA lowering process has went well. In less than 10 days I've lowered my TA from over 300 to 90. Tested today and TA was 90 and PH 7.4. I've been aerating 24 hours a day and have been dilegent in keeping PH 6.6 -6.8 during the process. Should I stop aerating now?

    Hi Steven, welcome to the forum! Yes, it's time to stop aerating, if I remember correctly your liner prefers 80 - 120 so 90 is a safe place and your pH @ 7.4 is also in the mid range (I always like to have a little room for change it makes it easier to catch a potential problem before it becomes a real problem)
    Congrats on the great results using Ben's methods, pool stores would have had you carting lots of acid and pH plus to your house and probably wouldn't have given you the excellent water you now have.
    Luv & Luk, Ted
