- The Free Chlorine and Cyanuric Acid Relationship
Stabilizer (Cyanuric Acid or CYA) CYA protects your free chlorine (FC) from the sun, reducing the amount of chlorine you need to add daily Too much CYA (more than about ~90 ppm), and it becomes difficult to maintain disinfecting FC levels
- CYA – Cyanuric Acid Test - Trouble Free Pool
Cyanuric acid (CYA) is the chemical name for the product commonly called “pool water stabilizer” or “pool water conditioner ” CYA protects free chlorine (FC) from the sun and protects swimmers from chlorine Accurate testing of the CYA level is critical to managing your pool water and is the one test that is most often performed incorrectly These instructions are intended to be as
- How did the CYA levels get so high in my pool
The main problem with the higher CYA is that it reduces the active chlorine level allowing algae to grow faster than chlorine can kill it You can compensate for this by raising the FC level as the CYA level changes (i e follow the Chlorine CYA Chart), but when the CYA gets very high (above 80 ppm especially) it gets risky because IF you let the chlorine level get too low and then need to

What is Free Chlorine in a Pool? Free chlorine, as measured by a TFP recommended test kit, is the sum of two forms of chlorine in your pool water - active chlorine (the chlorine compounds that directly oxidize bather waste and kill pathogens) and reserve chlorine (the chlorine that is bound to the cyanuric acid stabilizer, or CYA)
