Adding Cyanuric to Pool

[Mdragger88]

I’ll go even one better: If I’m in a rush (or being lazy), I spread it widely on my (vinyl) liner and let loose energetic (i.e., young) swimmers. Everything’s gone in a COUPLE hours (and no, nobody feet got burned by the [weak] acid, which I figured after squeezing socks with bare hands resulted in nada).

I have seen granular cya bleach liners before.

I have seen granular cya bleach liners before.

I don’t doubt that at all, but it hasn’t happened in my (limited) experience, esp if you rouse the granules up pronto.

For whatever reason, I’ve also found HTH Stabilizer to dissolve much faster than your typical granular CYA.

Well I might as well add my two cents. When I add CYA, normally its about one pound. I put it in a sock, hang it over the return, kneel down and keep squeezing it with my bare hands for about 10 minutes, maybe 15 minutes max and the entire thing is dissolved in that time. My hand hasn't fallen off yet nor has anything else happened so I like that method and it goes quick.
