Water getting slighty cloudy, any ideas

You can use dichlor instead of bleach to shock with but just be aware that most dichlor that is sold these days has unwanted stuff blended into it. Two that we know of that are safe to use are listed on the following page. http://pool9.net/ssr/

If you use trichlor or dichlor, you won't want to add the stabilizer since both of those products have stabilizer (CYA) in them already.

Hi there,

I picked up some bleach to shock with. I do have a gallon of Poolbasics Stabilizer, Cyanuric acid 25% Inert Ingredients 75%.

Should I add the stabilizer with the bleach, or before, then add bleach?

thanks

Also When you say "to take your chlorine level up to 15ppm" do you mean FC or CC?

thanks again

I have never seen stabilizer sold that was only 25% cyanuric acid. Not sure about it. Let me ask Ben about this. And, take chlorine up to 15ppm FC. You certainly would not want CC that high! Ideally, CC is 0.

I just tested this morning and the FC is at 15 and the Calcium test I got 30ppm.

Supposed to be a raining gloomy day, but I will test FC again tonight.

thanks
