Re: Lowering TA with Dry Acid Or Muriatic Acid
		
		
				
				
		
			
				
					So my procedure to lower my TA is 
1) Lower pH to 7.0-7.2. (Muriatic or dry acid are both fine) This lowers T/A somewhat.
2) Turn on the fountain
3) Lower pH again to 7.0-7.2, bringing T/A down some more.
4) Turn on the fountain again
5) Repeat 1-4 until T/A is in the desired range.
Is there a formula for how much Muriatic acid, or dry acid to add to reduce the ph?  I.e. 1/4 cups of muriatic reduces pH by 0.5, or is it not that simple?
