Can't get rid of tons of dead algae on the bottom of my pool

Thanks PoolDoc. I've looked all over but can't find where it tells me what and how much stabilizer to add to raise the CYA. What do I use? How much? I'm sorry I'm such a pain.

Why do you want to raise your CYA level? 50 is a good reading.

Did you read this page? http://poolsolutions.com/gd/best-gue...ine-chart.html

4 - 8 is a bit LOW, to be clearing algae, with CYA = 50 ppm.

[QUOTE=PoolDoc;108144]The chlorine is not too high; you are in the 'green' zone for your CYA level.


My chlorine level is 4-8 with the 1:1 dilution method. My CYA is 50. If I understand the Best Guess Chlorine Chart then shouldn't my CYA be 60-90?

When my Taylor kit finally arrives will it tell me how much to add according to my chlorine level and vice versa? I believe I read somewhere on here that you recommend dichlor as a stabilizer but to order it through Amazon. Is there a chart on your site that tells how much of what chemical to add for a specific reading?

Your CYA is fine at 50. You do not need to add any more thus no need for dichlor. You match your chlorine level to your CYA reading not the other way around.
