Snowymoon,
Another option is to get yourself a SWG which raises the PH so you will be adding acid to keep it down which will lower alk as well. I have fill water that is 250 ppm but my pool water is 120 ppm.

Wal-Mart does have a SWG that works with the current filter I have. I think it was $124 or so. Might be worth the investment for next year. I will have to look into it more.

It is working! It is working!After 2 days of aeration with my rigged fountain, the pH went up to 7.8.
I added more dry acid tonight. I only have a bit left. I will see how low I can get it with this method, let the pH raise to about 7.5 again and just leave it. There are only about 5 weeks left anyway.
Now I need an extra hose so I can run the surface skimmer with the "aerator."![]()
I am sooo prepared for next year!![]()
