Newbie ADDING CYA

[rnjng]

Thanks for the response. I was not sure if cya would raise/lower other readings. So i just wanted to make sure b4 i started throwing in cya. And thankyou for the help, AGAIN Watermom.

I will work on the ph after i get the cya up. So i can just add enough to get to 30. sounds easy enough. here we go.

So just curious, can you swim while addin stabilizer.

I also added 3 gallons of bleach to shock, but they are still floating around the pool.

3 gallons of bleach is a lot for a 24ft AG pool. I also have a 24' ft pool and in my pool, each quart will raise my cl by approximately 1.5 ppm. 3 gallons is 12 qts which in my pool would raise it by about 18ppm. Too high for a pool with a cya of 0. As far as swimming while cya is dissolving --no problem.

Swimming is no problem, but if you put it in via the skimmer, make sure you don't backwash your filter for at least a week, otherwise you'll wash it all out and have to start over.
