    First dose of dichlor last night and another dose of muriatic acid.

    Ph is finally starting to move down - 7.8
    Cl = 5
    TA is still around 400

    Go ahead and add more acid. Continue to work to drop the pH down to 7.0-7.2. The directions for lowering alk are in Ben's post #7 above. It is a gradual process but will work.

    Ph is down to 7.5

    TA is still at 400 after another dose of muriatic acid yesterday.

    Forward progress!
