How do you know how much chlorine (diclore) to use to overtake ascorbic acid? I gave an aa treatment a few days ago but am Leary to add too much chlorine at a time. Would it be safe to use a half lb an hr a couple hrs a night until I see the FC hold (tester from blue box in the tf 100 kit) or...

I go on eBay. Just bought 2.2 lbs for $17.90 with free shipping.

Would it hurt pool if I postpone til August to do, other than make the deep end not as pretty as the shallow end?

What's the recommended amount of abscorbic acid to use in a 21,000 vinyl liner pool. I used 1.5 lbs and it seems it did everything except the deep end. I'm thinking about doing it again before getting chlorine levels up again and at the same time thinking I may just put off till august...

I was trying to put in 2ppm which is why it was saying it would be raised .4. I did what you said and saw how that works. Thanks again for your patience and your time spent.

When I type in 2ppm it just says how much chlorine will be added, not how much 2 ppm is. What am I doing wrong. I'm headed out to pick up my car, I'll check back in an hr. I'll do it, I just need to know what I'm doing. I appreciate everyone's help and patience.

Your right. I just always ask and then do it just in case I make a mistake. I do want to learn.

2ppm is how much of a 1 lb bag?

And is 4 lbs stabilizer ok with 0 cya to start?

I'll test daily with my new kit, so should I just use like 1 lb of dichor every other day. Whats ur reccomendation for bring up slowly in terms of amount?

I just realized 2 weeks ago when I oPened my pool I used 34 oz of eclipse. I read the back and see copper is a main ingredient which is why they tout that ull need little chlorine, have to rarely shock and u won't get algae..... That is why even though I haven't shocked in a week due to a...

Thank you, I'll get this stuff down eventually.

I do appreciate everyone's help and don't seem to sound like a dope. How much stabilizer should I put in my pool to raise cyu then? Asking at the pool store around the block would be a mistake. I tried the pool calculator with no reasonable luck. I'm going to be shocking tonight. I really need...

I thought if the stabilizer was 0 the CYA was 0. Is the Dichlor stabilizer? Does that mean by using 42 oz of schock a night for 4 nights in a rowshould get the stabilizer in check. When I was in pool store they said they sold stabilizer seperately. I think I'm more confused on the cya/stabilizer...

So with a fc reading of 0, a total tc reading of 0, a ph reading of 7.4 how much stabilizer to u reccomend to bring me up to 30? I'm planning on shocking with Dichcor tomorrow nite. Any suggestions would be welcomed. I'm waiting on my tf-100 test kit to come on Wednesday. This site is great but...
