    CYA levels in Chlorine Pucks

    Thanks for the quick reply. I have noticed that the pucks seem acidic as my PH and alkalinity have dropped. Last year I had to add acid every week or so. I assume the liquid chlorine does not feed acid? In some ways this sounds like it may be better to be adding borax instead of acid if this...
