First test.. first post

Just a note--stabilizer is going to take closer to a week to fully dissolve and show up. If you add more stabilizer after 2 days, then when it all does dissolve, you will have overshot your target. Give it a week, then re-test for it.

Wow you guys are good. Thanks for the advice. It makes life so much easier to get clear, sound input and you guys seem to think of everything. Very much appreciated.

You would think the bottle of Cya would tell you to wait a week, or not to put it directly in the skimmer if you have a DE filter and its close to needing backwashing. I wonder why it doesn't come in powder form so it would dissolve quicker. I'm doing the mesh bag trick (with the cya in nylons) and putting the bag in the skimmer. It seems to be dissolving pretty quick, we'll see.

Does Cya harm anything that it may touch? I have the nylons in my extra Pentair Legend cleaner bag, and I let some go to the bottom of the pool on my first attempt, before I read about the slow dissolve time.

Thanks Again... Dave

it won't hurt anything it touches...don't worry about it.
