    What store are you at? Be careful, some dichlor and trichlor are being mixed with copper and such - I'd stay away.

    Wall Mart is one of the stores that's been selling copper added stabilized chlorine. If you can find CYA granules also called stabilizer or conditioner. Somtimes stabilizer is available pre-dissolved as liquid conditioner or stabilizer. The cemical you want is Cyanuric Acid or Isocyanuric acid.

    Thanks.
    Adding it to cart.
    I think I'm good to go home and get started.

    Will hook up and start pump first and then add bleach and my160 lbs of salt. Will run pump for 48hrs.
    Add stabilizer tomorrow?

    It'll take a week for stabilizer to dissolve. How much CYA did you buy?
