Sunscreen / Stabiliser / Cyanuric Acid: Why your pool needs it.
Summer is almost here and now is the time to add Cyanuric Acid to your outdoor pools. (Also called Sunscreen / Stabiliser).
Chlorine in your pool breaks down rapidly in UV light evaporating away. Combine this with water loss and topping up with fresh water & you can lose up to half your chlorine in 20 minutes on a hot day.
By Adding Sunscreen in the right amounts, it slows down this process by a factor of 3 - 5. In Chlorine pools, sunscreen levels should be 30 - 50 and salt pools 50 to 80. In turn, this means you are having to add or make less chlorine - saving time, money and wear on your system.
