If the TA in the tap water from my house is like 200, then I'm pretty much going to always battle TA and lowering it right?

When I fill my hot tub and test it's 200. Every time I refill my pool TA goes up. I have a vinyl pool, heater, rising PH, and am seeing some waterline scaling and would like to keep it lower.

It's a never ending battle. Not sure if there is a question here or if I'm just ranting.
