    Would love to, but our Walmart only sells strips

    I'm not that worried, I know I have "some" stabilizer, and I'm not totally sold on it's worth anyway. I'll keep my eye out for a CYA drop test.

    If you ever tried to maintain a chlorine reading without stabilizer, you would quickly recognize cya's worth. You can pour bleach in the pool in the morning and it would be gone by afternoon on a hot sunny day. You can't keep it in there without cya.

    I agree.

    By "totally sold", more than just enough to keep a residual on a sunny day
