I was adding 2 gal 8/10 % about every 8days raised the free levels to about 1.3 in 16k gal pool because shock and tablets were out of control expensive. But now a gal bottle is almost $6 so i rry and keep the pool very clean and run a robot frequently and mostly floc/algae preventer. PH is stable but i would also guess that depending on the location, water characteristics and temp variables results may differ
