For CelticDaddio yes, what you have pictured there will help...anything that gets the water moving at or above the surface will work.

For longgrove, glad to see you back. Just FYI, you'll probably get more useful responses to your question if you'll start your own thread instead of adding to another one. In answer to your questions, you can go ahead and lower your pH and begin aeration, just make sure you don't drop it too low. I would not shock the pool while in the TA lowering process--the higher chlorine levels tend to skew the pH readings, making them falsely high. You don't want to take that chance when you're dealing with pH at the bottom of the acceptable range to begin with.
