Newbie with salt water pool and still trying to figure out what to use. We live is KS and opened our pool a couple of weeks ago. We have been fighting PH, but finally have it up to 7.4. Our pool has turned cloudy and upon testing today we have FC of 9.5, CC of 0.5 and CYA is not even registering. Here's my question, is it liquid chlorine we need or stabilizer? I'm getting confused when reading through the different forums. TYA Dennis
 
Both.

You need CYA because it's low. Add 20 so you hopefully land at

You'll also need liquid chlorine because the UV will burn off the FC faster than the SWG can produce it.

Once the CYA is 30, Overnight Chlorine Loss Test and report back.

And Welcome !!!
