How to Lower a Stabilizer in Swimming Pool

Step 1: Test The Stabilizer Level

Before you can lower the stabilizer level in your swimming pool, you need to test the current level. You can do this using a pool test kit. The ideal stabilizer level is between 20 and 40 ppm. If your stabilizer level is higher than this, you will need to lower it.

Step 2: Calculate The Amount Of Pool Water To Drain

Once you know the stabilizer level in your pool, you can calculate how much water you need to drain. To do this, use the following formula:

Volume Of Water To Drain = (Current Stabilizer Level - Desired Stabilizer Level) / Stabilizer Concentration Of Drained Water

The stabilizer concentration of drained water is typically between 20 and 40 ppm.

Step 3: Drain The Pool Water

Once you have calculated the amount of pool water to drain, you can start draining the pool. Use a submersible pump to pump the water out of the pool.

Step 4: Refill The Pool With Fresh Water

After you have drained the pool water, you need to refill the pool with fresh water. Use a garden hose to fill the pool.

Step 5: Test The Stabilizer Level Again

Once you have filled the pool with fresh water, you need to test the stabilizer level again. Make sure that the stabilizer level is between 20 and 40 ppm.

Step 6: Add Fresh Chlorine To The Pool

After you have lowered the stabilizer level in your pool, you need to add fresh chlorine to the pool. This will help to kill bacteria and keep your pool clean. Use a pool chlorination kit to add the correct amount of chlorine to your pool.

By following these steps, you can lower the stabilizer level in your swimming pool and keep your pool clean and safe for swimming.
