Thanks for the suggestions.

I actually got away from leslies for not too much with the coupon they sent out and I bought some stabilizer at home depot. - $17 for 5#. Leslies was 20 for 4#. The also had a bag of shock for $4, so, hopefully I am back on track.

The one thing I learned (that will stick with me) is that since I have an infloor system, my skimmer does not go to my filter so all the CYA I put in just blew back into the pool. The infloor blew it around and disolved it pretty quickly (and I brushed it around as well so it would not bleach the plaster).

Wondering if you can explain to me why adding acid at 7.6 will use less. I am just trying to understand that. I know my habits are not the best. I sort of have it down to adding a half gallon once per week. Lazyness set it, I guess.

Again, thanks for all the advice.

Chris
