Stabilizer dissolved way fast!

[Ribbod]

I put 32 oz. of granulated stabilizer in a knee-high stocking in front of return and when I went to squeeze it, it all dissolved, 45 minutes later...
I guess Im concerned there was a problem, as I have been reading it takes 24 hours to dissolve. That seemed way too easy!

The only problem is that you now how more time to do chores elsewhere. You did nothing wrong. Some batches dissolve quicker than others, but I got my last to dissolve with lots of squeezing in about 30 minutes.

Knee-highs and lots of squeezing is the way to go.

I find that CYA in knee-highs, hanging in front of a return, is the fastest way for me to add CYA.. Although 45 minutes is pretty fast..

I would wait a day and start testing for it..

Thanks,

I found this new product from hth pod stabilizer. I’m going to try it out tonight after work. There 8 (8oz). They recommend to use 1 pod at a time and keep the pump running for 48 hours.

There was a thread awhile back on the pod things. The packet dissolves really fast and the CYA is sucked into the filter. I would suggest checking the skimmer a couple hour after putting it in to be sure it dissolved OK. Then wait 7 days to test.

I had a replaster done close to a month now. I finished 4 llbs of stabilizer over a week ago but my cya still at 20. Accord to pool math I should have 30 after added 4 lbs. but I had a lot of rain for the past couple weeks. Are this rain can lower my cya?

If your pool overflowed out the drain it will effect your CYA level.

Yes, it did last Thursday and Friday.
