Poolife Over Stabilization
|

 |
What is over stabilization?
The build-up of Cyanuric acid in swimming pool water, which usually
results from the extended use of stabilized sanitizers in
conjunction with stabilized shock products.
Over stabilization will significantly decrease the effectiveness of
chlorine in killing germs, bacteria and algae. Small levels of
Cyanuric acid do serve a purpose in protecting chlorine from
sunlight degradation. However, too much will negate any
benefit and cause problems. The recommended levels of
Stabilizer (Cyanuric acid) are between 40 and 60 ppm.
POOLIFE® calcium
hypochlorite sanitizers and shock
products offer the complete solution to over stabilization.
Calcium hypochlorite based products (read the active ingredient on
the label) are Cyanuric acid free and will not cause
over stabilization. Several state health departments have
eliminated or banned the use of Cyanuric acid based product in
public swimming pools. Ensure you practice responsible pool
care and have a reliable and balanced pool care program.

The
use of stabilized sanitizer in conjunction with stabilized
shock products can cause the formation
of algae when the cyanuric acid levels reach 70ppm.
This can occur within 6 - 7 weeks.

As
cyanuric acid levels increase, the kill time on bacteria
increases significantly.
