I just bought the conditoner enhancer (concentrated dry stabilizer).

Package reads: cyanuric acid..........99% other.................... 1%

Is this the right stuff?? This is the only thing they had except for the liquid.

I thought I read somewhere to buy the 60%.

Can I go ahead and add this?

Thanks,
Teena

You got the right stuff. the 60% you are refering to is the algaecide Polyquat.

Thank you. I'll send my hubby right out to put it in a sock and in the skimmer.

I'm scared of that stuff.:eek:

Nothing to be afraid of. It won't creep out from under the bed at night and nibble on your toes or anything.

LOL !

I was afraid of the fumes or maybe it's the fumes associated w/muriatic acid.:confused:

There is too much to read here. You think you kinda understand it, but when it's time to add something; it's "what do I doooo". I know, let me go read some more!

Off subject here:

Tonight at Leslie's, this young boy of maybe 17 years old was testing the water and he told me to raise the TA. He tested 70. I tested 120. Anyway, I asked him why I should raise it and he turned from me and said to hubby, "The alk acts as a buffer for the PH". Hubby told him, "you can talk to her, she's the one doing the water, I know nothing about it".

Kinda felt like my last vehicle purchase. Had to take a stance there also.

I hate it when people assume the man is the authority!!!

It's the muriatic acid that has the fumes you need to stay away from.....
