Easy Set Intex Pool

[Naunnie]

Oh! Thank you so much. I knew I had found the right place to learn about pool maintenance. I have a few more questions please. Is "CYA" also known as "Stabilizer? I have read about the BBB method and is what I prefer to use. I have baking soda, borax, and bleach ready to use! Should I expect any fluctuations in this CYA reading? If so what do I use? I will recheck before sundown tonight and again in the morning.

Yes, CYA is the same as stabilizer. If you've taken the 1" tabs out of your chlorinator, then it shouldn't rise any more. You might lose a little during the summer due to splashout and backwashing, but probably not enough to make a difference in the chlorine levels that Watermom suggested. If you find that it does get low, then you can always go back to using the 1" tabs. HOwever, I'll be surprised if that's necessary during this swim season!
