    Best way to add Stabilizer

    I found a lingere bag in my laundry room (to put women's unmentionables in and throw in the washer). I throw my stabilizer into it, tie it off with a rubberband and then massage the bag in the water until the stuff has dissolved. I tested my water after 3 days and bingo...had CYA.
