Stabilizer can effect the pH some but usually it is a very minor amount. You should be able to swim the same day.
When adding stabilizer to a pool you should not have a backwash valve open. Stabilizer should be added directly into the skimmer basket and you should open the skimmer all the way and close off the main drains for 24 hours.
Shock your pool at sundown and you can swim in it the next morning.
Yes, you can use liquid stabilizer in a pool with a cartridge filter. Liquid stabilizers, typically cyanuric acid, help protect chlorine from being broken down by sunlight. When adding stabilizer, ensure it's well-dissolved and evenly distributed in the pool to avoid any clumping. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the appropriate dosage based on your pool's volume.
Read the label, but usually it is safe. Pool Masters
Any time you like calcium is harmless
maybe if you like to hurt yourself
No, pool shock is normally a really strong chlorine and stabilizer is like sunscreen for the chlorine

There are no known ill effects from too much stabilizer in the pool. Most health departments require draining if stabilizer is more than 100 ppm. But most agree that even up to 150 ppm causes no harm to humans. High levels do cause a slower chlorine reaction to contaminants. It was previously thought that high stabilizer levels resulted in chlorine lock, but that has been proven to be false.
To determine the amount of stabilizer (cyanuric acid) needed for a 3861-gallon pool, a common recommendation is to aim for a stabilizer level of around 30-50 ppm. To achieve this, you would generally need about 4-6 pounds of stabilizer for 3861 gallons. However, it's essential to check the current stabilizer level in the pool before adding more, as this will affect how much you need to add. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and guidelines for specific products.
Most 50% algaecides if added properly according to gallons of water in your pool allow you to swim immediatly after adding.
you have to aid a conditioner or stabilizer with cynaric acid in it.
