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 to use when pool water won't hold chlorine?

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
