OOPS! I think I was confusing you with someone else I was advising who has an SWCG. Sorry 'bout that!Originally Posted by tamaran2
Trichlor will lower pH. That is true. But, having a test strip tell you your CYA is between 30-50 isn't really too useful as they are known to be inaccurate. If your CYA is 30, then you can use some pucks for awhile. If your CYA is 50, you're at the high end of the level we typically suggest.
Why don't you wait and see what the pool store tells you tomorrow about your CYA level before you decide to turn the chlorinator back on. I hope they use the 'disappearing black dot' test as that is the only one we trust. Ask them.
