Okay, so I put in 1 gallon of liquid stabilizer just to get some in there in a hurry since my chlorine is getting eaten up so quickly. I took a bottle of water sampling prior to putting in the stabilizer. Looks like I have zero chlorine AGAIN! Hopefully the stabilizer I just put in will help.

My question, is it safe to put liquid chlorine into the pool after I just put in a gallon of stabilizer? Just don't want to create any dangerous gasses or anything.

Also, I need some Borax since my pH is only at about 7, according to pool calculator I should put in 169oz of Borax to get my pH to 7.5 but I only have a 76oz box, so I guess I should keep more of this stuff on hand. I think that'll only get me to around 7.2? For putting Borax in, do I mix it into a 5 gallon bucket and dump into the pool? How much of it can I dissolve at a time without it settling to the bottom?

Sorry for all the questions, still learning - but getting more and more knowledgeable by the day...lol.
