So I tested my pool some yesterday after finding this awesome forum, and found that my CYA <30, and pH~8.2. I read somewhere on here that Trichlor will lower pH while increasing CYA. Is this correct? Could this be, sort of, a win-win situation? Also, how many Trichlor tabs would I start with? My pool is ~15000 gal.
I added 2 gal of 8.25% bleach last night and the TC is 2-4. I plan to order a better test kit next week, but have the HTH 6 test now.

Thanks in advance!
