I’ve been reading on the forum and thought I read that the high alkalinity was not good.

After testing the results tab is always in the 300s for TA. I do not have a heater and I don’t have a saltwater pool. My pH is a little high but not that high. I was afraid to lower the pH for fear that it might become too low and then like you said could ruin a lot of things. The pool was a little cloudy initially and in my opinion is still a little cloudy although I can see through the pool to the bottom now.

As a new pool owner I’m a little confused or a lot confused. There’s a lot of information to consider and I appreciate your knowledge from years of experience. I will lower the pH to as close to 7.0 as I can and then try the aeration.

Thank you.
