cyanuric acid

    I don't understand the need to use CyA

    Hello, There must certainly be a few (many ?) places here where this is discussed in depth. Could you please show me the way to the most relevant ones ? Thank you in advance. Nota : pool in France, pH and chlorine controlled via peristaltic pumps, pH and ORP probes, sulfuric acid (PVC liner)...

    CYA is a CURSE!

    After having a small 7,000-gallon fiberglass in-ground pool for a year and being sold a bill of (expensive) goods by Leslie's when I first opened the pool, I am still left with SUCH frustration over ONE thing: cyanuric acid! I've had to partially drain/refill my pool three times already due to...

    CYA Accumulation

    Hi all. I am building a pool and so I am starting to research how to maintain it myself. What I have read about pool chemistry all makes sense to me except for the following question I have... I understand that CYA is a chlorine stabilizer that you need for an outdoor pool. I also understand...

    Stabilizer - Splash Conditioner (CYA) question?

    My regular supplier was out of dry stabilizer so I picked up a couple of bags of Splash Conditioner for Stabilizing Chlorine. There is no where on the package that says if it’s 100% Cyanuric Acid. Does anyone know or have experience with this? My salt pool is always perfect thanks to TFP and I...

    Having trouble finding CYA, suggestions? (do NOT want to buy from Leslies)

    Walmart is out, Lowes and Home Depot seem to be out, and even Amazon is out. I just can't force myself to buy from Leslie's for double the price...ugh. Any suggestions on good cyanuric acid sources or is it sold in places other than the pool section of Lowes/Home Depot, etc?

    Does CYA protect poured liquid chlorine?

    Just curious if poured sodium hypochlorite is protected by existing pool cyanuric acid or if that only the chlorine from the tabs it comes from is conditioned?

    Ozone system pool water

    Hi, we just installed a new ozone pool system using chlorine as a secondary sanitizer. Instructions are to check chlorine, pH and alkalinity levels but do I need to balance the calcium and cyanuric acid levels too? Can't find anything online or in the manual about this. Thank you for your help!

    Cyanuric Acid problems help!

    So leslies and our friend TFP kit both said our cyanuric acid is super high... like 200... suggestion has been to drain half of pool and refill- do we drain from top or bottom? Also we have an ozone pool. Thank you!! ??

    Why is Cyanuric acid high in a newly filled pool? What can we do to lower it?

    Hi, Our pool was finished with River Rok plaster and we are filling the pool with hose water. I tested the water coming out of the hose and the Cyanuric acid reading is zero. I did this twice to be sure. When I test the water in the pool the reading of Cyanuric acid is 250! (also checked several...

    Cyanuric acid heated up and dissolved almost immediately

    My pool went neglected for a few weeks as our first child was born last month (I added bleach/acid sporadically but not with any precision). Now I have a bit more time to get everything balanced. My pH was about 8.5, FC 0, and CYA was almost 0 which was a surprise since I had added about 4lbs...
