When And How To Add Chlorine Stabilizer To Your Pool
What is Chlorine Stabilizer? If you use pool shock or any other type of unstabilized chlorine to sanitize your pool then you are wasting chlorine. You can get your chlorine to last much longer and be a lot more efficient by using chlorine stabilizer.
Chlorine Stabilizer is an organic compound and it's purpose is to keep the chlorine in your swimming pool lasting longer. It keeps it in there by not letting the chlorine get oxidized by the sun.
You should add stabilizer to your pool at the beginning of every year, up to 40ppm (parts per million). You should keep a close eye on this throughout the season. If your stabilizer drops below 40ppm you should increase this number by adding more stabilizer to your pool. However, if you use chlorine products that contain chlorine stabilizer then chances are every time you add chlorine your stabilizer is being raised too.
How To Add Chlorine Stabilizer to Your Swimming Pool 1. Clean your filter by backwashing it, or for cartridge filters just take out the cartridge and rinse.
2. Find out how much stabilizer to add to your swimming pool. Most stabilizer products require you to add 1 pound per 3,000 gallons of water in your pool. Make sure you check the labels first to see if this is the proper amount.
3. We are going to add the stabilizer to your filter system by SLOWLY pouring the product into the skimmer allowing it to pass through your pool filter system.
4. Now keep your filter running for about 24 hours or more and do not backwash your filter during this time.
Why do you add chlorine stabilizer to your filter system and not directly into the pool? Because chlorine stabilizer dissolves very very slow by adding it to your pool directly will cause it to lay on the bottom of your pool for a long time.
If you have any problems or additional questions we advice to contact your local pool supplier.
