Well, your basic principle certainly seems to apply in my case! My pool water has been clear - and clear of organics - for at least 2 weeks now. I keep the solar blanket on at all times except when the pool is being used - which is only for a very short period of time. This has been in order to...

4 days later & the chlorine levels still seem to be very slow to fall (with the pool cover on pretty much 24 hours). 12 days from opening slam with very green/black water, the pool is now crystal clear. I haven't added any more liquid chlorine for 6 days & no chlorine pucks for 3 days. FC was at...

I will say that my (anecdotal) observation has been that with the solar blanket permanently on, the pool does not seem to be losing chlorine quickly, even with very low CYA levels (seems to have risen a bit to 20). I still haven't been able to pick up granular stabilizer. The pucks that I had...

Yeah - it's just that I had the stabilizer pucks at home & would have had to make a special trip to get the granular stabilizer. I've used up the stabilizer pucks now & given that the pucks don't seem to have raised the CYA over 20, I'll have to go get the granular stabilizer. In general, I...

I'm familiar with the "sock method". Crushing the pucks & putting them in the socks hanging in front of a return jet ... & also crushing them in a bucket & then allowing the granules to dissolve in water in the bucket & adding the bucket to the pool. Either way, the CYA doesn't seem to be...

I've had the sbut ame situation for a couple of years now: using only liquid chlorine over a 10 year period the CYA levels have gradually dropped. On opening this spring the readings were below 20. I've dissolved a couple of stabilizer pucks in the water, but CYA readings are still below 20...
