Answer:

Your TA (total alkalinity) is closely related to the pH. If both are high, you do want to bring them down with dry acid. However, if the pH is ok, you can live with a little higher TA as the pool stores suggested. Clarifier might help to clear up the water as well. And do use the skimmer when the pool filter is running.
