You could also save the pucks for when you are away and can't add bleach. Simply manage your CYA and chlorine carefully and you won't have any problems
Awesome! I bought a 4 pound container of stabilizer (HTH brand from walmart) and will add some tonight. I can't remember the dosage but I think it was 2 pounds to raise it 10ppm for 10K gallons. Think I will start with the 4 pounds which should add 10+ to my pool and test it again in a week or so. Then take it from there.
I can't seem to find it....and I have searched.....on average, how many gallons of bleach does it take in a month to maintain chlorine levels assuming water is balanced? I ran some pool calulator stuff where I put in my current FC readsing of 1 and used 4 as my goal and it said I needed about 115 ounces or so for my pool to get it there.
I guess I am missing the part where it says...how long will it stay there. I assume I am not adding 115 ounces a day. Is it always different depending on the pool? I know I need to test everyday and I can use the calculator to help me but didn;t know if there is an "average" monthly use that someone could share.
Thanks
