For outdoor swimming pools, maintaining the correct level of Cyanuric Acid (CYA) is paramount to ensuring your chlorine sanitizer remains effective. When CYA levels dip too low, typically below 30 ppm, your chlorine becomes vulnerable to the sun's powerful UV rays, leading to rapid degradation and reduced sanitizing capabilities. This can result in poor water quality, increased risk of algae blooms, and the need for constant chlorine replenishment. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. provides high-quality Cyanuric Acid to help you achieve the ideal range.

The primary reason for low CYA levels is often the absence of stabilized chlorine. Many pool owners who exclusively use unstabilized chlorine sources, such as liquid chlorine, will find their CYA levels naturally decrease over time, especially if they regularly dilute their pool water due to rain or splash-out. Unlike chlorine, CYA does not break down or evaporate easily, so it tends to accumulate rather than deplete unless water is removed.

To effectively raise your pool's CYA levels, there are two main approaches. The first is to incorporate stabilized chlorine products into your routine. Many common chlorine tablets and granules, like dichlor and trichlor, already contain CYA. By switching to or supplementing with these products, you introduce CYA into the water naturally during your regular chlorination process. This is a convenient way to both sanitize and stabilize your pool simultaneously.

The second, more direct method is to add pure Cyanuric Acid, also known as a pool conditioner or stabilizer, to your pool water. This allows for precise control over your CYA levels. The general guideline is that adding 13 ounces of Cyanuric Acid to a 10,000-gallon pool will increase CYA levels by approximately 10 ppm. It's crucial to add CYA carefully and incrementally, as it is much easier to add more later than to correct an over-application. Before adding any chemicals, it's always recommended to test and balance your pool's pH and total alkalinity first, as this ensures the CYA will work optimally.

When adding pure CYA, it's important to follow proper procedures. You can dissolve the required amount in a bucket of warm water before adding it to the skimmer, or you can place it in a sock and hang it in front of a return jet. Always ensure your pool pump is running to circulate the chemical throughout the water. Regular testing is key to maintaining the target CYA range of 30-50 ppm. By understanding these methods and using quality products from NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., you can effectively manage your pool's CYA levels, ensuring optimal chlorine performance and a consistently clear, safe swimming environment.
