My pool is plaster. I dont know how to test for calcium hardness? I have never tested for it in the 7 years I have lived at this house. With my cyanuric acid level so high, will leaving out the the chlorine tabs lower this? How long should I leave them out? Wont that lower my available chlorine levels? As far as the accutabs go, should I just keep one at the bottom of the skimmer bucket? Thanks so much for your help! It is truely appreciated!

Thanks for the infomation. Here is my water analysis Free Avail Chlorine 4 ppm Total Avail Chlorine 4 ppm Cyanuric Acid 99 ppm Total Alkalanity 130 ppm Ph 8.0 Total Dissolved solids 1500 Phosphates 0 I added 22oz of Acid Magic to lower the Ph. So is there a way that I can use this bucket of AccuTabs? Or should I just go ahead and spend the hundred bucks to get the normal leslies 3" tabs? I really appreciate the help!!

Hey everyone, A friend recently gave me a 55 gallon bucket of Accu-Tab Blue tablets with Scale inhibitor. The bucket says for use with a power base chlorinator unit. I was curious if I could use these in my Floater Chlorinator. I put two tabs in the floater for about a half hour and the water started turning cloudy. So I took them out right away and put my regular leslies tabs back in. Has anyone ever used these tabs in a regular inground pool without having a power based chlorinator. Thanks!!
