I have made sure that I am AT 15 PPM, almost around the clock since this thread started, and have vac'd almost every day, and brushed on the other days. Tomorrow, I am going to vac to waste. If I do vac to waste tomorrow, I will add the polyquat to it after the vac to waste. Will that be too soon, since I added CYA to the pool on Saturday (if memory serves!)? My CYA is up in the low 30 range. I will recheck when I get back from vacation and see if that needs to go up a tad more. I only lost .5ppm of chlorine last night, and there was a grub worm in the pool this morning that could have been responsible for that loss. If I don't vac to waste, I will just use the poolbuster tomorrow and Saturday morning, before I leave town for the week. I don't want to chance losing any stabilizer if it is too soon to vac. to waste?

Thanks,

John,

With an inground pool you pump should have a bypass valve that allows you to pump the water directly to waste before it reaches the filter. You don't want backwash your filter since you recently added the stabilizer(unless it is clogged from the algae. Is it DE or sand.
