Pool's Clean- Need help with adjusting numbers. =)

If you do use the trichlor pucks for a short time, your pH will likely drop so I wouldn't add the muriatic acid just yet. (You won't be able to use the pucks for long. Your CYA level is already approaching 40-50 which is where you want it. Double check to make sure you don't have dual-acting trichlor pucks with copper in them! If you do, do NOT use them.

Yeah- I forgot about those dual acting ones! thanks, Watermom, for adding to my recommendation!

[JenLM]

Thanks! I'll check and see what it is that I have.

[JenLM]

OK, since doing this, my ph has gone up to at least 8. I guess it's time to add the acid?

[Watermom]

Yes, time for muriatic acid. Be careful with the stuff. Gloves, glasses, pour it close to the pool to avoid splashing, be upwind of fumes.
