    The water looks great and the chlorine level is good. He had Algae when I took it over but not much. PH is 7.5 and Alk is 90. What is this talk about lock up I read about? Does the chlorine lock up on high CYA levels? So with higher CYA levels the more chlorine you will need but the FC will...

    Ok thanks for the tip! Next time I go I will do the 50% on the cya test. The reason I asked about the acid is bc the guy that tought me said to pour the acid in a circle in the deep end. Now I know that doesn't matter. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
