Re: Little green on stairs
Total as of yesterday 4 cups granular stabilizer, have not used dichlor nor trichlor. I have in the past and can get more pronto
The shock I used before is Trichloro-s-trianzinetrione 67%
other ingredients 33%
total100%
Available Chlorine 60.3%
as I have a fiberglass pool does it matter which one? or is the Trichloro better?

I only trust the k-2006 titration is better for me
Re: Little green on stairs
what about 2 bags ( 20 oz) of triclo and 6 cups of stabilizer. Should that slow down the process and then keep cl at 5

Re: Little green on stairs
By weight, do you know how much granular CYA you have added?
Re: Little green on stairs
I would say at least 16-20 oz. I did it by volume 4 cups last night, but that is approx. 20 oz.

Watermom, its hard to tell weight as my conditioned didn't come in a bag, just a tub. But looking back if I were to put the 4# in bag form it would probably be 3 bags, hence 3 #

Re: Little green on stairs
Well Watermom, another reason for me to look at what I'm doing. My pool man sold me what I was told was stabilizer, ( I've had this stuff for 3 months) started reading closely...94% calcium chloride!!!!!!! This stuff is for calcium, NOT stabilizer. my readings are not bad luckily its been unseasonably cool here but in the morning I'm heading to get 2 items.
1. Stabilizer. 2. Shock that is Trichloro. Wish me luck. Learning the hard way

Re: Little green on stairs
DansDad: Let me jump in here since I've been having some stabilizer issues as well.... Once you're pool guy sells you the "correct" stabilizing product, perhaps dose as if you have a CYA reading of -Zero- Most stabilizers read 1 lb of stabilizer in 3000 gallons gives you a CYA level of 40ppm...Based on that math, you would need 4 lbs.
Following the direction on the FORUM and NOT on the container label, place the stabilizer in a tied off sock, and place the sock in front of your pools return...(( You probably will not be able to get 4 lbs of granules in one sock ))... Give the sock a "squeeze" every so often to hurry the process...
After the stabilizer has dissolved into the water, you really need to wait a good 5-7 days prior to testing for CYA to get an accurate read, for it takes that long for the CYA to "enter" the water.
FYI: only ingredient you should see on the Stabilizer container is: Cyanuric Acid: 100%
