High cyanuric acid in swimming pool

You and your friends just want to have a good time soaking up the sunshine in a nice, cool pool, but what should you know about your pool, and are there any potential hidden dangers? One thing to be mindful of is the amount of cyanuric acid already in your swimming pool. You can run into some pretty significant problems when Cyanuric Acid(Stabilizer) rises too high, so it’s best to know what it is and how to manage it. 

First things first: What is cyanuric acid? Cyanuric acid is a chemical that is sometimes dumped in swimming pools to help stabilize chlorine and prevent it from degrading too rapidly in the sun. Though it can be helpful in small amounts, too much of it in your pool can actually be a bad thing. Excess cyanuric  acid can cause something called chlorine lock, which refers to when it’s unable to kill bacteria or keep water clean as effectively as it should. This could result in the upgrowth of pathogenic microorganisms, which can get swimmers sick. 

Understanding the impact of elevated cyanuric acid on pool water quality

When levels of cyanuric acid get too high in your pool, it throws off the chemical balance in the water. This results in cloudy/murky water which is not only an unpleasant swimming environment, it can also be unhealthy for a person using the pool. What’s more, too much cyanuric acid prevents chlorine from doing its work, leaving your pool susceptible to becoming breeding ground for algae and other impurities. It’s necessary to occasionally test and regulate your pool’s cyanric acid levels to keep them in a safe range.
