Wet, clumpy CYA

[ka8yiu]

I only use my inline chlorinator if I will be out of town, and to raise my CYA level. With a lot of rain in June, needing to pump out water lowered my CYA to 20.

I was using pucks while gone for a week, but I ran out of them and had to buy stabilizer and add it through a sock.

So, I have my level up to 40 again where I like it, but some of the stabilizer is still in the sock, all wet and clumpy. Is this stabilizer still usable, or should it be trashed?

I would trash it. Compromised chemicals can be hazardous if kept and thus are better to be disposed of.

Take care.

Wilco. Have done, just wondered what other's thinking was.

If you are at your intended CYA level, dispose of the left over wet stabilizer.

Next time you need to add some, use PoolMath to calculate the amount needed. This will save $$ by not adding too much and needing to dispose of the left over. If kept dry, in its original container, stabilizer can be safely stored for quite some time.

I used pool math. The amount left over was a small fraction of the amount. I just wondered the feasibility of adding it back to the container.

Oh, okay. I assumed (wrongly) that there was a large quantity left in the sock.

In any case, I'd dispose of it. No use taking a chance of introducing unwanted moisture into the container.
