Unfortunately, the permasalt system is over priced and causing more problems than helping. Once we get you through the weekend, I highly suggest you make some significant changes to your pool maintenance.
CYA aka cyanuric acid aka stabilizer can be found at places like Lowe's, Home Depot, WalMart, as well as at pool stores.Can you provide a link? I can't seem to find it on their website.
Is this the same stuff:
Pool Water Conditioner Stabilizer by Swim Clear | Pool Supplies | Family Leisure
?
Will this raise my ph?
OK, you have some stabilizer, so you can go ahead with that... Can't remember, did someone already go over putting it in a sock and hanging it near a return?I looked to see what I have on hand. This came with my pool but was for chlorine based systems not salt water:
Qty 4 - 1lbs bag swimway conditioner (active ingredient cyanuric acid)
Qty 1 - 1lbs bag swimway blast (active ingredient potassium peroxymonosulfate)
Qty 1 - 1lbs bag swimway ph plus (sodium carbonate 100%)
I also have this chlorine shock solution (4 gallons):
Online Pool Shock (liquid chlorinating chemical for swimming pool bacteria and algae control) (active ingredient: sodium hypochlorite 10%, intert ingredient 90%)
How much of what should I add? What does the bleach do for me?
thanks!
I will respectfully disagree on the triple dose of chlorine - the OP was talking about having a party, including a bunch of little kids in the water tomorrow - running up chlorine, without FAS-DPD test to measure high levels, doesn't seem wise.Ok so we have no or almost no CYA in the pool.
How many gallons is your pool?
You want to go to Wall Mart and buy some stabilizer (Cyanuric acid). Ad enough to get to get to 30 parts per million for your size pool.
Use pool math above to determine what you need in terms of chlorine.
Today I would triple those amounts and see if we can get the cloudiness to go away.
