No, pool shock is normally a really strong chlorine and stabilizer is like sunscreen for the chlorine
What to use when pool water won't hold chlorine?
you have to aid a conditioner or stabilizer with cynaric acid in it.
Cloudy pool free chlorine is not reading stabilizer is low but pH is ok?
Add chlorine and stabilizer.
What to do when your pool does not retain chlorine?
Ad cyanuric acid/stabilizer, this is available from your pool shop
When adding stabilizer to a salt water pool is the backwash running while pouring in the stabilizer?
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.
Why cant you maintain free chlorine in your pool?
Have you tested cyanuric acid ( stabilizer ) ?
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
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.
What happens when swim with to much stabilizer the pool?
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.
