According to Taylors charts I need just under 6 gals of Acid to lower my TA 100ppm. Not sure if I have enough time to use Bens method.

ACID lowers PH - lower PH also affects the TA and lowers it until the PH comes back up and then the TA comes back up. Just lower the PH to 7.0-7.2 and then aerate by having a pool party (splashing) or by turning a return up to disturb the water surface. When you aerate at a low PH, then the PH rises but the TA stays lower - you do this a few times (over a week or two) and you will be set.

DO NOT add 6 gallons of acid to your pool.

Thanks for the response. I thought 6 gals of acid seemed a little excessive. Should complete the conversion to Bleach by the weekend,still have some pucks in the system, should be gone over the next 48 hrs. BTW, as far as I can tell my ladder bolts are S.Steel, will check with a magnet tomorrow.

From what I recall true Stainless is non magnetic but there again there are made sub alloys of stainless,thats why cheap stainless sinks will eventually rust and why some stainless fridges now attract magnets.

Im home for the next 3 weeks so should be able to devote some time to get this puppy house broken.
