Is my cell dying?

[JimK]

Probably the safest place is back in the pool. You would be adding CH back to the pool but it is probably small compared to what is already in the pool. Just keep track of how much acid is in the solution so you don't add back too much at once. Basically your normal dosing. I clean my cell in a dosing bucket so I just use it for dosing at a later time.

Otherwise, you would have to dilute it further and perhaps neutralize it before disposing in a drain.

Thanks for the tips.

Since I'll be using a cleaning stand and just filling the cell with the acid solution (as apposed to soaking the cell in a bucket), I expect I won't be using that much acid. However, I'd prefer not to add CH back into the pool if possible. I'm hoping to let it drop this year. At closing last year CH was at about 250 ppm. This will be my first season not adding anything with calcium, ie - I use to use Cal Hypo to shock, this year it will be strickly plain bleach to shock when needed.

This will be the first time I've done this, so I'm trying to be prepaired to avoid any unpleasant surprises.

Tips and suggestions are most welcome.
