CYA Removal Kit efficiently removes cyanuric acid from pool water. This revolutionary two-part system works without the need to drain or dilute water from a pool. CYA Removal Kit takes cyanuric acid (also known as CYA, stabilizer or conditioner) out of pool water.
What causes cyanuric acid to be high in a pool?
Why You Have High Cyanuric Acid
The main reason for high CYA levels in your pool is from using too much stabilized chlorine. When the pool water evaporates, CYA remains in the water, much like other chemicals such as salt and calcium.
Is it safe to swim in a pool with high cyanuric acid?
Although there are no known adverse health effects associated with high CYA concentrations, most health officials usually limit CYA levels to 100 ppm. Some states recommend a lower level for spas, and some jurisdictions ban the use of CYA altogether.
What if my cyanuric acid is too high?
What happens when CYA in a pool is too high? – CYA Levels exceeding a threshold of 70 parts-per-million of cyanuric acid can reduce the effectiveness of the chlorine in a pool. The amount of time it takes to kill bacteria lengthens as the concentration of CYA increases.
Does cyanuric acid damage pool liner?
And stabilized chlorine (like dichlor or trichlor) already comes with CYA, so you’ll likely be adding it to your pool water throughout the season. Because CYA is an acid, you’ll need to handle it carefully. It can damage your filter and your pool, especially if you have a vinyl liner.
Will CYA go down over time?
Yes, entirely possible. As you point out, there is a testing variance to consider and CYA will naturally degrade a few ppm per month, maybe a little more.
Do salt water pools need cyanuric acid?
Saltwater pool manufacturers recommend maintaining cyanuric acid levels around 60-80 ppm. This is a bit higher than the 30-50 ppm range recommended for non-saltwater pools. And if you live in an area where your pool gets a lot of direct sunlight, you may even consider bumping your cyanuric acid up to 80-100 ppm.
Is muriatic acid the same as cyanuric acid?
Yes both cyanuric acid and muriatic acid are both acids but they serve different purposes for the pool owner. Cyanuric acid has the chemical formula CNOH, whereas muriatic acid is a diluted form of hydrochloric acid, HCI.
Does tap water contain cyanuric acid?
Cyanuric acid is present in drinking water when chemicals commonly referred to as dichlor (anhydrous sodium dichloroisocyanurate or sodium dichloroisocyanurate dihydrate) or trichlor (trichloroisocyanuric acid) are used as alternative free chlorine sources.
How do you dissolve cyanuric acid?
Dissolving Stabilizer (cyanuric acid) – Warm Water Method
Step 1) Measure the chlorine stabilizer. Step 2) Add the cyanuric acid to a half bucket of warm water. Give it a quick mix. Step 3) Pour the stabilizer and water mixture directly into the skimmer box.
What level should cyanuric acid in a pool?
You should keep your outdoor pool or spa’s Cyanuric Acid level at 0-30 parts per million (PPM).
What can I use instead of cyanuric acid?
Non-Stabilized Chlorine Options to Trichlor Tablets
Liquid Chlorine. Regular bleach, or sodium hypochlorite – contains no cyanuric acid. Salt Chlorinator. Salt Chlorinators, aka salt chlorine generator will create most of the chlorine needed for your pool. Cal Hypo Tablets. Go Low Chlorine. Go Tablet Free.
Is cyanuric acid hazardous?
Uses Advised Against: None identified. OSHA REGULATORY STATUS: This material is not considered hazardous by the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200).
