Maintaining a clean and balanced swimming pool involves managing various chemicals, with cyanuric acid (CYA) being one of the crucial components. CYA is often referred to as a pool stabilizer because it helps prevent the quick dissipation of chlorine due to the sun’s ultraviolet rays. However, when its levels become too high, it can lead to a condition known as “chlorine lock,” where chlorine is rendered less effective, compromising the pool’s sanitation. For many pool owners, the primary method to reduce high CYA levels traditionally involves partially draining and refilling the pool. While effective, this can be wasteful and costly,…
