Glad I can disregard one issue for now. lol

I am pretty sure my granules aren't stabilized. I really had, and hopefully have, no intention on using them permanently as they are a bit of a pain in the behind to either be sure they dissolve or to make sure they don't touch the bottom of the pool. Too much hassle for a mom of 4 who works too.

I do have some shock treatment stuff and had wondered if I should use it but wasn't sure as the pool had only been used once and we've only had it up a week and a half. So for the shock stuff, put it in in the evening, test the level, and then test again in the am to see how much I lost over night. And if I'm still off the chart with too much chlorine so to speak that's a good thing. Then wait till the level comes back down to the 1-3 ppm and in theory my tabs will keep me there going forward.

And I will need to look at investing in a better testing method too.
