What are the ingredients on the bags of shock?
BTW how long does it take for granular stabilizer to show a difference. I cannot even tell if I have any
calcium hypochlorite 73%
other ingredients 27%
minimum 70% available chlorine
If you think I need another type I will get it
If your CYA is less than 30, it won't be detected.
How much total CYA have you added to the pool?
Have you used any dichlor shock or any trichlor tabs?
Total as of yesterday 4 cups granular stabilizer, have not used dichlor nor trichlor. I have in the past and can get more pronto
The shock I used before is Trichloro-s-trianzinetrione 67%
other ingredients 33%
total100%
Available Chlorine 60.3%
as I have a fiberglass pool does it matter which one? or is the Trichloro better?
what about 2 bags ( 20 oz) of triclo and 6 cups of stabilizer. Should that slow down the process and then keep cl at 5
By weight, do you know how much granular CYA you have added?
I would say at least 16-20 oz. I did it by volume 4 cups last night, but that is approx. 20 oz.
Watermom, its hard to tell weight as my conditioned didn't come in a bag, just a tub. But looking back if I were to put the 4# in bag form it would probably be 3 bags, hence 3 #
Well Watermom, another reason for me to look at what I'm doing. My pool man sold me what I was told was stabilizer, ( I've had this stuff for 3 months) started reading closely...94% calcium chloride!!!!!!! This stuff is for calcium, NOT stabilizer. my readings are not bad luckily its been unseasonably cool here but in the morning I'm heading to get 2 items.
1. Stabilizer. 2. Shock that is Trichloro. Wish me luck. Learning the hard way
