First of all, I'd better practice what I preach so here are my current test results:

FC - 4
CC - 0
TC - 4
pH - 7.8
Alk - 110
CYA - 30-35

I would like to lower my pH somewhat (it's trending up) and raise my CYA a little. A friend has given me some tri-chlor tabs.

Since I do not have a chlorinator, I would put these in my skimmers...pump running.

My question is...Would you advise leaving the pucks in the skimmer after I shut off the pump?

If the answer is no, can I simply remove them from the skimmer and place them in a closed, plastic bucket and then put them back when I restart the pump?

Thanks in advance,
