Kurt's post just had me get the idea that perhaps the hydrogen gas generation in the salt cell which has hydrogen gas bubbles coming out of the return jets may act like "aeration" and accelerate the outgassing of carbon dioxide. You know how dropping sugar crystals or other substances into carbonated beverages (including champagne) has lots of bubbles coming from these "nucleation sites"? Well, perhaps hydrogen gas bubbles act somewhat like nucleation sites for the dissolved carbon dioxide -- or they act as mini-atmospheres just as bubbling air might do in the pool water.

In fact, given how incredibly productive the TA lowering procedure is when one uses "tiny bubbles" from an air compressor, I really think that the hydrogen gas from the SWCG systems may simply be accelerating the carbon dioxide outgassing process (sorry for repeating myself, but I'm really excited about this, thus proving once and for all that I am a true nerd).
