    Correct me if I'm wrong please

    Ill post test results as soon as I get home from work. Just curious to know how useful trichlor could be to me? I work at a chemical plant and have access to trichlor and many other chemicals, solvents, caustic. We make chlorine but its in a liquid / gas form and I'd have no way of transporting it.

    Correct me if I'm wrong please

    Yes my pool is has a SWG, and yes I bought the TF-100 test kit with mixer. 0.3 on CC, if above 0.5 is out of range than just figured 0.3 was a happy medium.
