You're absolutely right! In some instances, test strip readings were found to be completely off but we still test with these since most customers do and we'd like to see the sort of results they would get, however inaccurate (the strips would still signify that a reduction took place from one...

It is quite likely that Polyquat 60 will inhibit the organisms that the CAR product uses to break down the CYA. You add it to control algae and it is the same toxicity that will certainly have some effect on the organisms. We would suggest allowing at least 7 days after any such treatment before...

Hello Patrick, that's absolutely ok! We appreciate the interest, and this is a new one as far as I know. Most of the field tests have been run on pools in that range (by number it is hundreds of pools). The results have been consistently good with ending CYA levels typically in the 40-70 range...

Hello heugeneo, I've been monitoring your posts and I'm glad to see that there has been significant progress. Just a couple things to point out; Bio-Active CYA Reducer is a biological product. It provides best results at water temperatures above 65F. As a biological product the warmer the...

The organisms are used as a delivery vehicle for the creation of the necessary enzyme chemistry only. The enzymes are catalysts and as such can perform multiple reactions without being used (unlike chemicals). So the microbes produce the enzymes and the enzymes then break down the CYA and...

Certainly! 3 years when sealed in original packaging.

Patrick, Thank you for the opportunity to post. There are some great questions and discussion points being raised so we will do our best to keep up our end and provide as much detail as we can. As this is a new product we are needless to say more than keen to ensure users have a positive...

This one definitely depends somewhat on the water conditions. As a general rule 7-10 days is the active period for the product. In most cases this occurs when the CYA is reduced to between 40-60ppm and the oxidative potential of the chlorine increases and deactivates the product. We have used...

Certainly! I'll do so by answering your questions; The product is not formulated to achieve a weight of bacteria. It is formulated around a required activity level based on the industry measure of cfu (colony forming units). There are many ways the industry quotes bacteria weights and most...

Hello, I'm Jose with Bio-Active. I'd like to clarify with some details about this. The Cyanuric Acid Reducer consists of hungry little microbes which consume and degrade CYA as a fuel source, but they may also consume other nutrients that algae feed on like nitrogen (which happens to be an...
