It is fine to add chlorine after stabilizer has been added. Borax can be poured slowly into the skimmer while the pump is running, breaking up any clumps.

Thanks. In regards to the Borax, poured in powdered form, or should I dissolve in a bucket first?

powder . . . added slowly.

powder . . . added slowly.

Slowly as in over a 10 minute span or a 24 hour span? Should I use the entire 76oz box?

Slowly as in a minute or two. As soon as you see the skimmer basket clear, pour some more. Go ahead and use the whole box.

Sweet. Thanks. Got the stabilizer in, got the liquid chlorine in, and I'm heading out now to put the Borax in. Should I let my pump run on full speed overnight? I still haven't quite figured out when to use the low speed vs. the high speed.

If you're pool is cloudy, you'll get better filtration with a cartridge or sand filter on low, than on high.

It's looked clear, but right now it's looking a little cloudy since adding the liquid stabilizer. I'm hoping it'll clear up by morning. Should I run it on low overnight?
