    Okay,

    That's what I thought, but was hoping maybe you knew something I didn't about getting CH lower.

    High alk and CH usually come together in the fill water, which is my situation. About 220ppm alk, 430ppm CH.

    I lower the alk each time I top up, but I know the CH is just getting worse and worse due to evaporation. So far not seeing a problem.

    BTW, it's easy to use one of these to aerate each time during a top-off. I just screw it in for a day or so, then remove it:
    EDIT - And add acid too. END EDIT
