I can see your point on locking up CH levels, But low levels of PH will dissapate your chlorine requiring you to use more. Essentially this could lead to algea issues as well. Not sure which is accurate and which is not. I have the Taylor kit and it has helped me out greatly over the past few days. I do stress to wait for an accurate response from the experts in this forum. They can do wonders.
