Thanks for the advice! For the CYA, I have a 10 LB bucket of Haviland Stabilizer from last year. There is not a list of ingredients, just says it contains CYA. Would you recommend using this. or will it introduce other unwanted additives into the pool?

As long as it is just cyanuric acid (may say isocyanuric acid), it is probably fine. Do a search online and see if you can find the ingredients. Typically, CYA has nothing else in it.

Haviland Stabilizer is fine.

Keep in mind that, on your pool, each pound of stabilizer will add 3 ppm of CYA. Also, you need to allow a week of pump RUN TIME to dissolve the CYA, if you add it via the skimmer. You might want to put in a sock in the skimmer, instead of just pouring it in. That way, it won't be lost when you clean your cartridge -- OR if it sinks to the bottom of the filter case when the pump is off, and just sits there in a pile.
