Re: Should I bother to lower ALK of 110?
If you have a fibeglass or vinyl pool your TA is fine. If you have a plaster pool and your calcium hardness is not too high (say below 300 ppm) then you are fine also. If the calcium hardness is higher you might get some cloudiness if your allow your pH to rise so keep tabs on it and try to keep it below 7.8 at all times and you should be fine also!
It really ain't rocket science!
Just enjoy your pool and stop stressing over a possibly slightly high TA. If your TA was, say, around 190 THEN you should worry!
