With the proper level of cya in the water which is typically recommended to be between 30 and 50 parts per million in outdoor freshwater pools the.
Salt water pool stabilizer too high.
The pool requires large amounts of salt for it to get saturated.
Unless the pool is saturated with sufficient salt enough chlorine will not be synthesized and the stabilizer levels will remain low.
If you had your swimming pool water tested and were told the stabilizer level was too high you might have been instructed to drain your pool most likely the advice you got was to drain it to a depth of 1 foot in the shallow end then refill it with fresh water to lower your pool s stabilizer level.
If your cya levels dip too low your chlorine will be completely gone in a few hours and your swimming pool will become susceptible to bacteria and algae growth.
Too much cyanuric acid cya cyanuric acid cya is a water conditioner and stabilizer that prevents chlorine from degrading in sunlight.
If the pool stabilizer levels get too high however it overpowers the chlorine and makes it less effective.
Monitor chlorine levels more closely in the future to keep your pool water algae free.
Pools that sanitize the water using salt systems or other methods other than.
Any higher means trouble.
If your 10 000 pool s salt level is 4000 ppm this means you have approximately 8 bags of salt in your pool 4000 480 when you should have about 7.
Inadequate amount of salt.
Salt level is ok.
Our pool builder continues to tell us that our chlorine levels do not matter in our salt water pool.
Cyanuric acid commonly referred to as cya acts as a stabilizer that resists the effects of sunlight on chlorine cya works by forming a chemical bond with the chlorine which prevents the chlorine from breaking down under ultraviolet light.
The net result is you will need to drain approximately and 1 8 of your pools water.
This usually happens as a result of using chlorine tablets that contain cyanauric acid.
The pool may even begin to appear cloudy.
They arrived at this number based on the assumption that children will likely swallow some water while swimming and if they ingest too much cya it can make them sick.
If the stabilizer level is too high in a pool it will lock the chlorine molecules rendering them ineffective as a sanitizer.
Ideal cyanuric acid levels.
Bag of salt is equal to 480 ppm.
What happens when you have too much stabilizer.
According to morton s pool salt packaging they state that 1 40 lb.
The world health organization recommends an upper limit of 100 parts per million ppm of cyanuric acid in a swimming pool.
We ll take the water to get tested and they ll say our chlorine is high like 7.
So the pool store says to turn our chlorine generator down to like 10 20.
