I need to add 5 lbs of stabilizer (dry) into my pool, according to the poolmath calculator. A pool store nearby said to add them directly into skimmer basket. I think I read in this forum to put them in a sock or pantyhose and locate it near skimmer. What is the advantage of using a sock or...

SGS Breeze 540

TFP recommends CYA between 70 ~ 80 for SWGs, while the manual of my chlorine generator recommends CYA between 30 ~ 60 and that it warns that the range over 60 ppm can lead to algae growth and other problems. Is there a reason behind the higher CYA recommendation?

Thanks jblizzle, Based on the salinity level (I added 120 lbs of pool salt when the salinity level was 3700, and it's 4400 now) the assumption of my volume was a bit off. I think it's more like 20500 gallons. My chlorine generator manual recommends between 4000 ~ 4500 ppm. I have a gallon of...

Thanks jblizzle, Hydrochloric acid I bought is labeled as 38% (concentrated). The pool math calculator doesn't have a selection for 38%, but using 34.6% option, it came out to be 21 oz.

Thanks jblizzle, I bought a gallon of liquid acid. Should I start with adding a half gallon to the pool?

Thanks jblizzle, The first test results were the following: FC - 4 CC - 1 pH - 7.8 CH - 225 TA -120 CYA - 37 Water is crystal clear for now.

Thanks woodyp, Just got TF-100.

Thank you Jason, What test kit do you recommend and where do I measure the chemical levels? (at the skimmer!?) Sorry for a newbie question.

I've just converted to salt water system. Before conversion, I drained the pool (concrete, in-ground) and did chlorine wash and cleaned the filters and filled with fresh water. The manual of the chlorine generator (Breeze 540) says to maintain TA range of 80 ~ 100 PPM and pH range of 7.2 ~...
