Hi Gang

Well I read and read. But still do not understand some stuff. Ok, I now know stableizer is to keep the chlorine in the pool. Mine is high when I put it in, but have to put more in within two days. Now with the stablizer, it should be better, I just bought it, have not put it in yet. My pool reading for alkalinity was 200. I have a vinyl pool so it should be 150. So how much do I put in? Also, I did put some ph decreaser in it tonight, 2 oz. So how long to wait before I add chlorine? I will not put the stablizer in until Tues night. Will be away all day Wend and will keep pump running 24 hrs. How long after I put in the stablizer can I swim again? Thanks for all the info.

ps ok, here is a question I have looked all over for also. I have grandkids, what will happen if they pee in the pool? They wanted to know why they could not, I told them I do not know, but I know chlorine and ammonia do not mix. LOL. What is the correct answer to this?
