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.
    (Cal hypo and trichlor react together in very bad ways!)
  • 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.
