I have one of the walmart aboveground vinyl pools with the inflatable ring at the top. It is a 3800 gal pool. I did my first readings and they are not too bad, but my CYA is 0.

I am going to get some powdered stabilizer at wal mart today, instructions on container says to add it slowly to the skimmer but my question is I am going to have to add about a pound and a quarter, and last year that seemed to clog the filter up (filter is not very big on this pools pump) so bad that it would not let water pass through hardly at all. Is there a more effective way of doing this?

THanks!
