- 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
- 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
- CYA Chlorine Relationship - Further Reading - Trouble Free Pool
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
- 3 chlorine tabs without CYA - Trouble Free Pool
Why doesn't anyone manufacture 3" chlorine tabs without CYA in them? Is it not possible? Or if someone does, where can I buy it?
- 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 Testing Follow the instructions for CYA Testing in Pool School Read all of the notes in the Pool School article Many people find the CYA test the most difficult to interpret and get consistent results
- Best CYA product - Trouble Free Pool
To increase CYA via granular stabilizer, place the required amount as calculated by the Poolmath calculator into a white sock and place in the poolside skimmer basket For those concerned about suction flow to the pump, suspending the sock near a return jet or from a floating device will also suffice
