I just finished my pool about 2 months ago and trying to get the chemistry down. I have a:
Total alkalinity 80,
Calcium hardness :190
Saturation index : -0.1
Ph: 7.6
Cyanuric acid : 0
My question is : for Saltwater pool do I need to add a stabilizer? When Tested the cyanuric acid stabilizer it with the Taylor k2005 nothing happen water was not cloudy stayed clear. So I’m assuming I don’t have any in my pool?
please advise
In a word, yes, ALL pools need stabilizer. Stabilizer protects the chlorine in the pool from the sun’s rays. Without stabilizer the sun destroys chlorine in a short amount of time.
Since you didn’t list the free chlorine in your post I’m assuming you’re having a problem keeping chlorine in the water.
Salt Generators require much higher levels of stabilizer than pools sanitized with conventional forms of chlorine.
Salt water generators require between 70-90 ppm of stabilizer. You will need to check the documentation for your generator to confirm the amount it requires.
