    Default Re: TA always high

    Lowering TA in a hot tub is an easy thing to do since the bubblers and jets with the air turned on full are an excellent source of aeration. The process goes very quickly in a hot tub. If you are using bromine and or MPS in the tub both of them are acidic so you want to run the TA on the higher side anyway. When you fill just lower the TA to the lower side (maybe about 80-90 ppm) and then when you add fill water you won't be raising it that much. If it gets too high then you might have to lower it again.
