    Cloudy water

    Maybe, in the future, the pool industry will pick up on this finding and start changing how they describe CYA's characteristics and behavior.

    Cloudy water

    Well, I am left with some questions regarding this subject... Why does ChemGeek's article fail to prove that much loss? And why do several references found all over the internet fail to state this huge loss? Also, my own personal situation, living in Texas near the coast and not experiencing...

    Cloudy water

    You will lose a lot less chlorine. Without stabilizer you could lose up to 90% of chlorine in a few hours. Also, try not to add too much CYA. General rule: not less than 30 and not higher than 50 ppm. As the concentration of CYA increases, you have to also increase the chlorine concentration. I...

    Cloudy water

    I believe ChemGeek's article in this forum explains the theory of this degradation. Here: https://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/degradation-of-cyanuric-acid-cya.8498/ The article states that it is possible to see degradation under certain scenarios. However, when he tried to check the...

    Cloudy water

    Hello, CYA or stabilizer does not dissipate or evaporate. Its purpose is to slow down the chlorine or bleach evaporation from pool water. I would make sure that when chemicals are added, that the amount added is proportional to the pool volume to ensure the correct concentration (ppm) is...

    Liquid chlorine

    I connected the Stenner to the Pentair Easy Touch panel and can schedule its operation while pairing the chlorine injection with the variable speed pool pump operation. Its a convenience to program the panel remotely. In 3 seasons the only thing I have had to replace on the Stenner is the...

    Liquid chlorine

    I have always injected bleach/chlorine into my pool. (Except when the PB started the pool). I learned this method right here and others in here use the same method. A Stenner injection pump is used to accomplish this. Its a peristaltic pump that uses a tube and 3 rollers to "pump/displace" the...
