☀️ Is your pool chlorine not working like it should?
The problem may be high CYA (stabilizer).
💧 CYA protects chlorine from the sun, but too much of it can actually make chlorine weaker and less effective.
🧪 Think of it like sunscreen for your chlorine:
A little helps. Too much blocks it from doing its job.
When CYA gets too high:
➡️ Chlorine gets “locked up”
➡️ Algae grows easier
➡️ Pools turn cloudy or green even with chlorine in the water
🚨 The only way to lower CYA is by draining and replacing the pool water.
✅ Benefits of lowering CYA:
✔️ Chlorine works better
✔️ Lower chlorine levels are needed
✔️ Water stays clearer
✔️ Algae is easier to prevent
✔️ Fewer chemicals are wasted
