- CYA - Further Reading - Trouble Free Pool
CYA not only protects chlorine from UV loss, but it also acts as a chlorine buffer The active chlorine species (hypochlorous acid and hypochlorite anion) are kept at much lower concentrations by holding the chlorine atom in reserve by reversibly bonding with it Even though this buffering chemistry slows down oxidation and disinfection, it helps keep chlorine levels manageable and less harsh
- 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

The Chlorine CYA Relationship Maintaining the proper chlorine levels in a swimming pool is essential for the health and safety of swimmers While high chlorine levels may seem dangerous, understanding the relationship between free chlorine (FC), cyanuric acid (CYA), and hypochlorous acid (HOCl) can provide a better understanding of how to manage chlorine levels effectively This article will
