I know exactly where I can get stabilizer and I understand perfectly you it is available outside of cl tabs. I am not adding it because I need all available free cl right now to kill organics first so I can use cl tabs along with liquid cl for the time being to clear my pool.

I am editing my post and replies. my cya got to 150 two seasons ago so I stopped using tablets containing cya through my feeder and used liquid cl exclusively for the last two seasons and my cya is now near zero so I began adding tablets to my feeder when I opened this year along with slamming...

these are some additives I had on hand and they did help clear the pool in previous years. - - - Updated - - - been there done that

I stopped using tablets containing cya last year because it got too high and I used liquid cl exclusively. I have always tested myself and purchased what I wanted on line or at stores like menards or sams club. I joined tfp last year and started using your test kit. I have stabilized tablets and...

the tf100 is the one I use. I am still slamming I put 3 gal of liquid cl in today. also 6 lbs of sodium carbonate

they are out of balance because of drastic treatment with slamming etc which probably are not true numbers

my ongoing problem is white mold /bacteria which, from what I have read, you cannot eliminate and only control. I have an automatic cover which remains closed most of the time. when I joined your forum I became aware of overstabilized chlorine and went from tablets and high cya of 100+ to less...

i have ordered the tft-100 kit. i am slamming my pool with bleach to eliminate white water mold and using my pentair kit to monitor free cl and combined cl in the mean time. i am diluting sample by 50% to get the higher number. so far the process is working to clear the pool. i just added my...

the cya numbers are from my test kit and i have ordered the recomended test kit along with slamming with bleach and a proprietary product called pink cure which is a cationic polymer that i used last year to remove dead organic matter. it is looking better. i will keep you posted. i have also...
