You should add a few granules to some water, and then add this water to your hot tub water a very small amount at a time. See the related link I posted for more information on testing and using the chemicals.
Add chlorine and stabilizer.
you have to aid a conditioner or stabilizer with cynaric acid in it.
Shock first, then check your stabilizer. Add stabilizer as needed.
Stabilizer can effect the pH some but usually it is a very minor amount. You should be able to swim the same day.
Remove some water in container (10-20%) and add new water. example: pump water high in cyanuric acid out of a swimming pool and the add fresh water to the pool.
No, pool shock is normally a really strong chlorine and stabilizer is like sunscreen for the chlorine
no
You mix stabilizer powder and water
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.
Ad cyanuric acid/stabilizer, this is available from your pool shop
Check if you have any stabilizer in your pool without stabilizes (cyanuric acid) the chlorine use is greatly increased.
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
