    Keep adding stabilizer but CYA doesn't go up

    I bought some liquid off amazon, its $30 so you might check that out to save $8. Why does the liquid have to be mixed before adding it to the pool?

    Combined Chlorine is 0 Sock was placed in the skimmer, the last batch I bought was on 8/20 and i've used 5lbs of it. 2lb right after getting it and then 3lbs on the 9/5.

    Keep adding stabilizer but CYA doesn't go up

    I had an IC-20 and even at 100% my FC was tanking to 0... maybe from all the rain this year in FL. I bought an IC40 a month ago and the unit died after about a week while I was out of town which caused it to go to 0 again. The new unit would blow a fuse a soon as you plugged it in to the power...

    Keep adding stabilizer but CYA doesn't go up

    In the past few months i've probably added atleast 10lbs of stabilizer/conditioner but I always get a reading of around 50-60. I broke down and went to the local pool store and they got a reading of 35 and told me to try completely cleaning out my DE filter. I did that on the 5th and then added...
