Hey Everyone,
Firstly, a big thank you for the incredible information on this site. I started lurking on here about 4 years ago after being a pool owner for the first time, and these past 2 years I have been without a pool buy for the first time. Needless to say, sometimes I actually find myself worrying when my pool doesn't need any chem, and I've gotten used to checking my levels more infrequently now and just going off the eye test. Sometimes I doubt myself but I believe it is just a well balanced "trouble free pool" thanks to you all.
However, here I am with a question. I noticed my CYA levels are a bit low (I suspect from draining often the past two weeks with the rain from Hurricane Henri and other downpours). But they have typically been hovering around 60 and never a problem. I am debating adding some stabilizer and wanted to know the following:
1 - do you all agree I should bring my CYA up a tad and lower my output on my SWG? Pool receives a lot of sunlight which is why I tend to leave my pool a bit higher than the 4.5% ratio of CYA/FC.
2 - does adding stabilizer mess with any other chem reading? Do I need to worry about "rebalancing" after I add?
3 - do you all recommend any specific type? Is liquid better than crystal? Is there a brand recommendation? Etc.
4 - any other input?
