    I Apologize for my ignorance but what is this about "borates". How do I test and what is used to adjust? First time I have heard about this. What causes the CYA to get so high, the tablets [trichor-triaz..] or the Power Powder Pro [Cal-hypo-73%]. Thanks again.

    Trichlor adds about 6 ppm of CYA for every 10 ppm of chlorine. Cal hypo does NOT add CYA, but does add calcium.

    Fill out the form here, and I'll try to work up a plan for you: http://pool9.net/pf-equip-form

    You'll need the thread number -- it's 24873
