I did not put any stabilizer in yet because I was going to try to get the dichlor. I was just putting in 6% bleach so far. I went out and found some "4 in 1 shock plus" (made by aqua chem) and it states: active ingredient of Sodium dichloro-triazinetrione 58.2%, other ingredients 41.8%. A 24 pack box was similar in price as to what your recommendation was (I do not have a Sam's near me). What do you think of using that? The label also states: creates sparkling water, for all pool surfaces, reduces chlorine odor, does not increase ph. Is this similar to what you recommended?
