Stabilizer question for small pool

[Waldog]

Find a pool calculator online and input your pool size to come up with how many gallons. Get stabilizer and put in an old sock in front of return. Squeeze when you walk by until it's gone. It will take about a week for the stabilizer to register on a test.

Test strips are not accurate... look on amazon for a real Taylor test kit.

Have you looked at the Super Simple Recipe (http://pool9.net/ssr/)? It's a good guide to starting up the chemistry.

The test kit we recommend is the Taylor K-2006. Not available in stores. Buy it through this page: http://pool9.net/tk/ and Pool Forum gets some coin to keep the lights on.

Read all you can here especially the stickied threads in the testing and chlorinating forums also read the guides at poolsolutions.com. Pay special attention to the Best Guess Chlorine Chart page as it describes the basis for the safe, efficient, and effective method of pool care taught here.
