I have an above ground round hard side pool. Dimensions 18' by 52". 1 HP Hayward pump.
We purchased our property late August 2024. The pool was already on the property. I know that it wasn't operational in 2024, and wasn't covered. I tested the CYA (Taylor test kit) and it was zero.

If I read the instructions correctly, I put the stabilizer in the skimmer in a sock. I didn't understand when to start the Slam process.

Thank you for your help.
