When should i add stabilizer?

Generally you need to get any messes in a pool cleared up before you add the stabilizer . Whether the cloudiness is from impending algae or something else, we don't know, which is why Watermom asked for test results. I would test for your chlorine at night, then test for chlorine again in the morning before the sun is on the pool. If you lose 1 ppm or less of chlorine overnight, then go ahead and keep adding bleach, but also go ahead and add your stabilizer. If you lose more than 1 ppm of chlorine, then shock the pool and hold it at shock level (12-15 ppm if your CYA is 0) until you can pass that overnight test....and THEN add your stabilizer.
