    I never did fully get why folks have to wait up to a week to see all of the CYA show up in test results. The Trichlor powder and CYA flakes (not really granules) I use are all fully testable in an hour or two. In other words, there is no further measurable increase in concentration after a couple of hours following application in warm water. Not what most people say on the forums but true for me nevertheless.



    [Edit: Though I have not looked at every single clorox product's MSDS sheet to know this, I presumed that all liquid bleach contained some amount of lye.]
