Cannot Get Total Alkalinity to Go Down

[Dino1956]

To be honest, I am a member of another Pool Forum and they always said TA should be between 70 and 90.
They are very strict and moderators were not real friendly. More condescending. So I don't want to deal with attitude, so I'm here hoping this is a more friendly and Relaxed bunch of people. I don't mind changing my ways to this Forums thinking, knowledge and opinions to better my pool water. I have been taking care of my Pool for over a year now with very little problems. My pool pump, baskets, etc...never have debris in them for any legnth of time. I had a Pool Guy for 6 years before I decided to take things into my own hands. My pool has never looked better. He was laxidasical and just dropped in chemicals and vacuumed. Never really took the initiative of maintaining the pool or equipment.

I have a Pool Heater but never use it.
No Salt water Generator either.
I was told by another Forum to keep TA between 70 and 90.

Well, I hope you'll enjoy our forum and feel welcome and comfortable here. We are glad to have you join us.

We don't go chasing numbers here; what works for one pool is not always the same as what works for another.
