"Grocery" shopping list for my pool.

[OOsever]

I bought the Taylor K-2006C(Through your link to amazon ) last week just hadn't gotten around to opening it yet. Ran the test on CH (80ppm) and TA (350ppm). TA looks rediculously high, thought I possibly messed the test up somehow, but ran it again at the 10ml sample and got the same thing. The only way to lower it is lowering pH and aerating correct?

The high TA is possible; public utility water is sometimes treated with a method called "lime softening" that can leave exit water with very high TA.

And yes, the only practical way to lower it is to lower the pH to just below 7.0 (or as low as your test kit allows) and then aerate.
