    Yeah, the aeration method is not that difficult to do. Our fill water starts at about 300ppm TA. I built this screw-in jet to take it down:

    I found a sprayer for $20 that screws into the return eye and has a whole fan it sprays. The few times I've needed to lower T/A it worked GREAT.

    Branch Brook pools, here in NJ has it.

    B/B is now part of Namco so they may have it too.

    I filled my 21' AG pool last summer from a 300' well. I bought Ben's kit and tested. My TA was over 600. I followed the aeration steps outlined here and got it down to the recommended level. I just turned my return eye up so it was pushing the surface causing bubbles. Make sure you have a good supply of muriatic acid.

    I didn't think it was that bad of a procedure. It just takes awhile.

    Remember: PATIENCE!!

    I'm learning a lot of it right now clearing my water up.
