hi everyone - I am in to my first summer of pool ownership and wondering what is normal with respect to frequency of stabilizer addition?
I built the pool in October of last year and the PB loaded me up to 60ppm. Since then I was letting the number come down over the winter. In mid-May I noticed chlorine was burning off quicker with the increased temperature and tested my CYA to be about 30. I added stabilizer to get it up to 50 and within a month I'm back down to about 30.
We've had an uptick in pool usage, temperature here is hitting mid 90s, full sun on the pool most of the day and we've had several strong thunderstorms so I'm not surprised about the decline - just curious if I should expect to add stabilizer every month during summer here in Houston (give or take a week or so depending on weather variations)?
