No, pool shock is normally a really strong chlorine and stabilizer is like sunscreen for the chlorine
no
Yes you can add liquid chlorine to a pool even if it's not circulating
you have to aid a conditioner or stabilizer with cynaric acid in it.
Add chlorine and stabilizer.
Ad cyanuric acid/stabilizer, this is available from your pool shop
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.
"There are several components needed for pool chemistry; a dry or liquid chlorine along with a chlorine stabilizer, an acid for balancing pH, an algaecide to control and kill algae and also soda ash."
Have you tested cyanuric acid ( stabilizer ) ?
make sure chlorine is is at 1-3ppm, if pH is very low raise chlorine slightly higer than average. shock the pool after and run filter for over night. If pool still not stabilize then add PH high chemical.
Stabilizer is used to protect Chlorine from the UV rays of the sun. If chlorine is not protected from the sun, all the shock you added yesterday will be gone by lunchtime today. A normal stabizer level is around 40ppm (parts per million) if you get above 100 ppm your pool water can lock up and chemicals will become inactive. Also note: if your level becomes too high the only way to lower it is to exchange water in the pool. If you use a stabilized chlorine, it will, over time increase your stabilizer level in the pool. So be careful not to over stabilize. It is better to error on the side of under stabilize the to over stabilize. Stabilizer is also known as Cyanuric Acid
Yes but you also need chlorine stabilizer (CYA) or the chlorine will be destroyed by sunlight in a very short time or you need to add the bleach in doses thoughout the day to maintain the chlorine level. Bleach is the same as liquid pool chlorine but at a lower concentration.
