Neither yet... I'll need to stop by the pool store and grab some. Is one better than the other? I dug through the leftover stash the previous homeowner left for us, and can't find anything that resembles stabilizer.. unless it goes by another name....

And by the way, thank you for all the great responses!!! This is such an awesome place to learn. I've learned a ton just by reading a bunch of other posts!!! What a kind bunch of people this is!!

Okies... so... the pool math is telling me to add a bunch of stabilizer (either 277 oz liquid, or 107 by weight/111 by vol). Also will begin working with the adding acid/aeration process in order to get the TA down. Is it cool to add the stabilizer with the SWG running? Pooldv said it's ok...

Reading the pool math stuff now :). And yes, dialed up the swg to 100% to make more chlorine :). Also, do I need to shut off the swg when I add acid? I can't find anything online that says I need to, but, think I saw something saying the swg should be shut off if you add other chemicals...

Ok, folks :) free chlorine: 1 ppm combined 0 ppm ph 7.4 ta 250 (omg!!) ch 330 salt level is 3200 i took a pic of the setup, but, I may have to upload it tomorrow since I can't figure out how to do it on my iPhone. with th TA being high... I do have the ability to aerate.. We have 5 laminar...

Hello there! So, we are somewhat moved in and adjusting to life with a new-to-us pool :p I ordered the wrong test kit on accident, wanted the TF-100 but ended up with the Taylor k-2006. Seems decent enough so far, but will grab the tf-100 next year probably. A few questions from someone who...

You are AWESOME!!!! Thank you!!! :D I will print this off and read this weekend. Supposed to be a rainy one here...

:) Will do! No more googling. And I'll definitely order the water test kit the end of June :) Thank you!!

That's a relief. When I started googling some of these things.. I began having that "what have I gotten myself into?!?!" feeling :)

LOL!!!!! Well, he owns a pool cover business, so HOPEFULLY he knows what he is doing :) I know I sure don't yet!! LOL. I grew up with a sand filter and a chlorinator that eats tablets... so basically the equipment here I am not in the least familiar with ... hopefully the learning curve isn't...

I juuuuuust updated my location a few mins ago, hopefully if it isn't appearing to the masses yet, it will shortly. I'm in central IN.. in Fishers, just a bit north east of Indianapolis. And yep, I'll put all that stuff in my signature shortly. I had a few minutes between tasks at work and...

Okay folks.. it's been a really crazy few weeks with closing on our current house, moving into an apartment, and going through the motions with the new place. So, we had the home inspection (everything went fairly well) a couple weeks ago, and yesterday was the official pool inspection...
