What is the CYA requirement for your SWCG? If you are below the recommended level, then add a little. Pour it slowly into the skimmer and then keep your pump running 24/7 for the next 4-5 days to give it time to dissolve and don't backwash the filter during that time period either. (I assume it is a sand filter?) Alternately, you can add put CYA into an old sock and hang it in front of a return jet and give the sock a squeeze every now and then to help it dissolve faster.

Hope this helps!
Thanks for so quick response there.

So, I guess both salt and borates tests are also essential, and I should get both kits, right?

when you say "keep your pump running 24/7 for the next 4-5 days", you mean running pump all the time (24 hours) for 5 days? that sounds really a lot.
