How long does it usually take to get the chlorine to stabilize at 3 I have added 10 ppm (1.5 gallons of 10%) for the 4th time Just curious

Thank you- now on the hunt for stabilizer- my store out has on order!

Thank you for your reply. If I understand this correctly- 1. I should not add the poluquat. 2. I should not start the slamming process until I do that first ammonia test. 3. If the test shows I have ammonia I should continue adding chlorine to raise my FC 10ppm every 30 minutes until...

Pool did not get touched for about 5 months. It is the worst grren swamp I have ever seen. I am brushing sides, running pump, and then vaccuming. My plan was to and Polyquat 60 1 gt and 3 bags of shock and let the pump run overnight. In the morning I plan to test and SLAM until clear. Does...

Thank you all It has been about 10 days now and my pool has gone from dark brown to pale green as the chlorine levels dropped. This morning the pool has been vaccumed and I intend to start by adding chlorine and seeing if the level will hold. Once I know the algae is addressed then I will...

THANK YOU FOR REPLYING- with the quarantine I am not going to be able to get a sample to a local pool store so if I start the process again I would use the Ascorbic acid, wait 24 hrs and then start to slowly add chlorine (sodium hypochloride liquid) not rapidly to get pool to SHOCK level correct?
