    I do have DE Hayward filter and natural gas heater.

    Incident was in the in-line chlorinator and it was pretty violent (inside of it). Nobody got hurt and I learned a lesson. You are correct of being very quick to disolve and produce heat.

    My today readings are:
    FC - 3-5
    TA - 80
    PH - 7.2
    Calcium Hardness 120
    TDS 600
    Phosphates 500

    Thanks for all your help.

    You need to get some chlorine in the pool, or you're going to have an algae problem. See post #2 above...

    There's no 'standard' way to use your cal-hypo tablets, given your other conditions (heater! and feeder!).

    There is a NON-standard way, but I'm not going to tell you how until you have
    #1 - A Taylor K2006 or 2006C or equiv (Amazon links below); &
    #2 - You've gotten your pool chemistry under control and running smoothly.

    This method will actually produce improved water quality, BUT is dangerous if you don't understand and follow my instructions.
