I am told that liquid bleach doesnt require stablizer as it in itself isnt stablized?
If that is true, how is it that a swg requires stablizer?

pooladdict said:Just curious if there is a way to tell just how little one could get way with by adding CYA, everything I have seen on here in the last 7 years says stabilizer is a bad thing, my pool has never had a bloom or even gone cloudy, and I never add CYA or have ever used pucks
Also, if a solar blanket is left on, wouldnt that negate the need for CYA?
I'm confused, you're saying that with 0 CYA it's possible to add liquid chlorine once daily and have it last all day..?techguy said:Sot... technically a liquid bleach pool does not NEED to be stabilized but the chlorine will need to be replaced each day by pouring in more chlorine.

I add chlorine daily with 45ppm CYA.
With no CYA in the water, half of the FC is lost in one hour during peak noontime sun. After just 4 hours, the 3 ppm FC would drop to around 0.2 ppm so it doesn't even take a full day of sun to lose most of the chlorine and after 6 hours with only 0.05 ppm FC then algae will grow faster than chlorine can kill it so the chlorine would then be lost even more rapidly towards zero and algae will grow, possibly making the water "dull" by the next morning.techguy said:What I meant was if you leave your pool un-stabilized, you will always need to replace all of your chlorine each day. As an example, if your pool is 0CYA and you add enough bleach/chlorine to get to 3FC, about 30 oz 12% in my pool, you will need to add at least this much each day to completely replace the solar loss... and you will likely have periods of zero FC in which algae will likely grow. Realisitically, if you wanted a zero CYA pool outside, you would either need add a bunch each night (a gallon 12% per 10K gallon pool) or you will need to add some during the day to protect.
