    Yes, I have the 2006 kit.
    Thanks for the replies.

    I don't want a swamp.

    Well I filled the pool 5 days ago, and I've successfully gone from TA = 300+ to TA = 100 and pH of 7.4 as of tonight. It required gradually adding 3 1/2 gallons of muriatic acid and aerating 24-7 for 5 days straight. But I'm there.

    Does TA change a whole lot week-to-week, or should it be pretty stable now?

    Congrats, sounds like your fill and startup went well.

    TA shouldn't move a whole lot but what's "normal" will be uniquely "normal" for your pool. Keep an eye on TA and pH stability for a while to get a feel for what's normal for your pool. A TA about 80 may be ideal for bleach chlorinated pools but if pH stays stable, 100 should be just fine.

    Nice recordkeeping! What kind of chlorine are you adding? How did you add the CYA?

    Chlorine and CYA are just HTH from Wal Mart. Granular versions of both.

    I'm a bit uncertain about the CYA, because I added 2 lbs and the test still says ZERO.
    So I'm not quite sure I've got that dialed in.
