    Default Re: Lowering Alkalinity

    So i have gotten my total alk back to 120 ppm using dry acid. I have found that aerating the pool will get the pH back to 7.2, but not much higher than that. I bought some 20 mule team Borax to raise the pH back to 7.5 and if I understand this correctly, this should not affect the TA?
