Product Details
Premium Pool Stabilizer - CYA Cyanuric Acid, 7 lbs Bag Cyanuric Acid (CYA) is an important chemical used in swimming pools, primarily to stabilize chlorine and protect it from degradation by sunlight. Here are some key features of Cyanuric Acid: Chlorine Stabilizer: CYA acts as a stabilizer for chlorine, reducing the rate at which it is broken down by ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun. This helps maintain effective chlorine levels in outdoor pools. Sunlight Protection: By protecting chlorine from UV degradation, CYA extends the life of chlorine in the pool, reducing the need for frequent additions. Optimal Concentration: The ideal concentration of CYA in pool water is typically between 30-50 parts per million (ppm). Higher concentrations can reduce chlorine's effectiveness. Compatibility: CYA is compatible with various types of chlorine, including liquid chlorine, chlorine tablets, and granular chlorine. pH Neutral: CYA is relatively pH-neutral, meaning it does not significantly affect the overall pH balance of the pool water. Application Methods: CYA can be added to pools through different methods, including direct addition of granules, use of stabilized chlorine products (which contain CYA), and use of liquid stabilizers Measurement and Control: Pool owners and operators need to regularly test and monitor CYA levels to ensure they remain within the recommended range. Test kits and digital testers are available for this purpose. Over stabilization Risk: Excessive CYA levels can lead to "chlorine lock," where chlorine becomes less effective at sanitizing the pool. This can result in algae growth and other water quality issues. Impact on Total Dissolved Solids... view more
