Do add stabilizer then shock?
Shock first, then check your stabilizer. Add stabilizer as needed.
Is pool shock the same as chlorine?
There is chlorine shock and non chlorine shock. Fo chlorine shock, which is the normal shock, it is the same a s Chlorine but unstabilized, so it will not last in the pool very long.
What is the difference between a shock and a stabilizer?
They both have the same job, the only thing difference is their application. The "shock" dampens continued vibrations from the springs while the "stabilizer" dampens the "shimmy" that the front tires cause.
Is there a cheap substitute for pool stabilizer?
no
Stablize pool chemicals?
Please ask a question. If you are asking what stabilized pool chemicals are, then research the pool chemical Cyanuric Acid. That is the actual product "Stabilizer" while cyanuric acid also makes up around 10% of quality chlorine tablets and the chlorine shock Sodium Dichloro-s-triazine-trione. The "S" in the middle there stands for stabilizer. All the stuff is is a layer of "Sunscreen" for your chlorine.
Can you shock pool at the same time you add other che?
yes
What to use when pool water won't hold chlorine?
you have to aid a conditioner or stabilizer with cynaric acid in it.
When do you add stabilizer to the pool?
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
Cloudy pool free chlorine is not reading stabilizer is low but pH is ok?
Add chlorine and stabilizer.
How long will it take for my pool to clear it is new it sat for a week no chemicals no pump I added muratic acid shock chlorine and stabilizer at pool stores guidance the green went away but cloudy?
Add clarifying chemicals and turn the pump back on.
What to do when your pool does not retain chlorine?
Ad cyanuric acid/stabilizer, this is available from your pool shop
Do you shock a pool or backwash pool first?
Backwash first then shock. If you shock and then backwash you will be throwing away the shock you just put.
