I unplugged my salt generator a few weeks ago because my FC was very high. It dropped slowly, but is now all the way down to 2.5. My CYA is 50. I plugged my SWG back in, but I see that our high temperatures aren't going to be up in the low to mid 60's until the middle of next week. Should I add the 3 quarts of stabilizer that Pool Math is recommending, or a lesser amount until my SWG comes back into play?

Treat your pool as a liquid chlorine pool. Get your FC up with LC to 6-8 (per FC/CYA Liquid Chlorine chart) and keep it there (daily test/additions)...until the SWG comes back online.
I added about 40 ounces of generic liquid chlorine from Leslie's and am at a FC of 5.5 today. When trying to figure out how much more to add in Pool Math to get to 6-8, what type of Sanitizer say that I am using? Trichlor, Dichlor, Cal-Hypo, etc... I have no idea.

In PoolMath, liquid chlorine is listed as Bleach. Be sure to add what percentage it is - from Leslie's it's probably either 10% or 12.5% and should say on the bottle.
