Our fourth pillar is about minimizing Cyanuric Acid (CYA). CYA, also known as chlorine stabilizer, protects chlorine from sunlight degradation. Some is good, but too much is bad. The action step is simple: keep your CYA below 50 ppm.
00:00 - Intro
01:19 - What is CYA and why do we use it?
04:54 - Hot temperatures do NOT mean you need more CYA. Temp has nothing to do with sunlight protection and CYA. But chlorine does get used up faster because it works better.
10:52 - You do not need a lower pH to have strong chlorine (%HOCl) when you have CYA in your water.
12:00 - Percentages of HOCl without CYA are pH-dependent. With CYA, that no longer applies.
15:57 - Overstabilization = too much CYA relative to Chlorine
19:39 - Oversabilization is an accumulation problem, usually from stabilized chlorines Trichlor and Dichlor.
19:59 - One pound of trichlor in 10,000 gallons of water adds 6-6.5 ppm of CYA. It adds up quickly.
23:30 - How often should we be testing for CYA?
