How Can I Speed Up the Dissolve of a Stabilizer?

During summer it is difficult to keep your pool water quality high. The sunshine depletes chlorine levels quickly, so you must constantly apply a stabilizer to keep the pool clean. However, it often takes an extended period to completely dissolve the stabilizer. There are a few different things you can do to dissolve it quicker and enjoy the pool when you wish.

Instructions

    • 1

      Place the stabilizer in a pan of warm water before it is put in the pool. This allows the chemicals to begin dissolving ahead of time. Attempt to warm the water more than the actual pool temperature to expedite the process.

    • 2

      Dump the stabilizer into the water near a jet stream. This will shoot the chlorine throughout the pool, resulting in smaller granules. These smaller granules can dissolve quicker than larger granules.

    • 3

      Place the stabilizer in the skimmer and spread it throughout the pool. The result is similar to placing it in front of the jet as smaller granules of stabilizer are dispersed throughout the area of the pool.

      Avoid backwashing the pool for several days after the stabilizer is applied. That will slow down the process of dissolving in the water.
