Last night I added the recommended 118oz of liquid chlorine. Today I am registering no chlorine 😩 I have another chlorine lock. This is the third time...

    Thank you. Should I wait until I’m done exchanging water (lowering cya) to reduce TA or should I work on lowering TA while simultaneously exchanging water to lower cya?
