    The pH is not necessarily more, or less, an issue than the chlorine. Get the pH in the 7.0-7.8 range, and as long as it stays there, you're fine. The chlorine, however, will need closer attention because if it gets too low, you'll end up with a green pool.

    Also, the stabilizer doesn't really have anything to do with CC....the CC is just chlorine that's engaged with fighting "goo" in the water. The stabilizer protects your chlorine from being consumed by the sun. If you have an acceptable amount of chlorine loss during the day (2-3 ppm?), and you're able to chlorinate your pool on a daily basis, then leave the stabilizer alone. HOwever, if you are losing too much chlorine to the sun, or need to chlorinate your pool less often then daily, then raising the CYA can help with that. Really, it's just personal preference. The important thing to remember, though, is that the amount of chlorine you must maintain is dependent on your CYA level. (Repeating my advice to check out the chart I referenced above).

    Add a half a box of Borax slowly to the skimmer while the pump is running. Retest it several hours later and add more if needed. It's ok at 7.0 but no lower. As long as you are 7.2-7.8, you are fine. Other than this, I agree with Jan. Time to swim.
