What is stabilizer and why does my pool need it?

stabilizer“Stabilizer” is a specialty chemical treatment that helps your pool maintain a more stable chemical balance. A stable chemical balance is important to keep the pool plaster from leeching and to keep bacteria under control. If your plaster fails due to large swings in chemical balance, it could cause the need for a re-plaster which would cost you thousands of dollars. Also, if your pool develops black algae, you could be looking at some very expensive repairs.
