I forgot to mention that my pH is 8.2, so adding muriatic acid should help with TA, right? Never mind, I should have read your previous answer first. Thanks for the info!

Your pH is probably 8.2 or HIGHER, not 8.2 . . . unless you are using a pH meter.

Yes, lowering the pH will lower the alkalinity.

Is your pool vinyl? If so, higher alkalinity is not a problem unless your pH is continuously rising.

No it's gunite. I finally got some trichlor tabs and stabilizer to get this pool under control. Now I'm watching the chlorine and pH. I really appreciate all of the info from y'all. It's very motivating.
