Will stabilizer lower PH?

Yes, 1/2 gallon of acid WILL do that much to a 26K gallon pool. Take your time when adding chemicals--it's much better to "sneak up" on your target number than it is to overshoot it and have to correct the new problem!

Thanks Janet- For some reason, I thought a gallon would move it a little. What's a good rule of thumb for lowering PH by x amount? Or is it simply do a little then wait and retest.

Also what should I do now to bring it back up. Wait a couple of days since I added stabilizer, salt, acid etc... My pool is actually getting very clear.
