    Interesting thoughts.
    Maybe your aeration isnt enough? Or maybe you are not maintaining the PH at a low enough level for long enough....since it tends to creep up so quickly maybe its demanding more attention?

    My pool is filled and I have the High TA also so I begin my aeration process tonight.

    I should also have good numbers today so we can compare notes.
    Some people have hobbies.....I have a pool.

    How long is it recommended to let the water circulate before testing PH? I gave mine a good 19 hours of circulation before testing PH. The water probably turned over 3-4 times, so it should be plenty mixed. I'm thinking the PH was dropping but being offset by the aeration so it stayed more or less stable as the end result.

    I added acid this morning. I'll test ph again at noon to see what it did. This will be 5 hours later. If PH is low enough, I'll check alk. If not, I'll add more acid. I'm starting to run low on my alk reagent, and although it only costs $1.69 for another bottle with free shipping, it's a flat $6.99 "handling" fee.

    Sounds great
