Winterizer isn't a chemical. It sounds like one of those all in 1 closing kits and they're usually laced with copper.
Do you know what is in it ?

I saw one at Ocean State Job lot (IIRC) that was comically generic. There was more focus on the color of the small / medium / large box than what was actually in the box.
Magic potions and/or cure alls are to be avoided at all costs. Your pool needs what it needs at any time. No more, no less, and they can't possibly know what that is.
Again, that's treating for the sake of treating.
You need an Overnight Chlorine Loss Test to prove the water. Then SLAM Process or go about balancing.

Thanks i'll look into that overnight chlorine test.. its been running 48hrs levels all a little low... I'm running a super chlorinate today, had to get my salt levels up a bit, I'll retest water tomorrow or later tonight.
On the chlorine loss... the pool in the summer months gets ALOT of sun to the point where just using a solar cover can bring temps up to 90+ (not where i like it, but HWHL). I tend to run lower FC after a busy weekend and usually super chlorinate on sundays after the last dolphin gets out. Its been stable. I do however wonder about the metals in these detail lacking bags and bottles of miracle powders. Last year i was convinced i needed to Slam some shock in... and i battled some really strange black/orange substance on the liner seems that wouldnt even scrub off. I eventually used vitiman C tabs in a sock and had to scrub it.. it was the only thing that worked.
