I added the proper amount of CYA to my pool (per the pool store) 8 days ago and the results are still zero. I ordered a good test kit but it hasn't come yet so I've been using Aquacheck test strips to test. Yesterday I started using the automatic chlorinator a friend gave us. I bought 94% trichloro-s triazinetrione tabs to put in it. Will these add stabilizer. Also, whenever I test the alkalinity its low. Thanks for the help.
