Another way to lower your pH is to use Tri-Chlor pucks. But this is only a good way if your CYA (stabilizer) level is lower than you like. Pucks lower pH and raise the CYA level fairly quickly. I use them when I'm in that situation (as I have been this year).
I know this post is a little old, but I do have a question. What effect does the Tri-Chlor have on alkalinity? Does it only effect PH, or does it also bring down TA?
