What else can I help you with?
Is pool stabilizer and shock the same?
No, pool shock is normally a really strong chlorine and stabilizer is like sunscreen for the chlorine
Is there a cheap substitute for pool stabilizer?
no
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.
Is muriatic acid the same as hth stabilizer?
No, muriatic acid and HTH stabilizer are not the same. Muriatic acid is a strong acid used to lower the pH of pool water, while HTH stabilizer (cyanuric acid) is used to prevent chlorine in the pool from being broken down by the sun's rays. Both serve different purposes in pool maintenance.
Why cant you maintain free chlorine in your pool?
Have you tested cyanuric acid ( stabilizer ) ?
Can you use liquid stabilizer in a pool that has a cartride filter?
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.
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
You added chlorine stablizer into the pool and now it is showing no chlorine?
Excessive levels of chlorine stabilizer can reduce the effectiveness of chlorine in the pool. Try diluting the pool water by partially draining and refilling it to lower the stabilizer concentration. Test the water again after dilution to see if the chlorine levels improve.
How much stabiliser in 3861 gal pool?
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.
