    Do that.
    • Then, once the pH is up, begin with 10# doses of cal hypo, each evening.
    • Make 110% SURE that is your trichlor feeder is COMPLETELY empty, and add the cal hypo via the skimmer.

    • Run your pump 24/7 if you are not already doing so.
    • Clean your filter when pressures are 5-7 psi greater than the 'clean' pressure.
    • Replace the gauge if it's broken.
