Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to wait 7 days to test like with granular CYA?
No. Liquid stabilizer is a slurry of sodium cyanurate that is instantly active. You can test your water again within 3 hours.
Does liquid stabilizer lower pH?
Unlike granular Cyanuric Acid (which is highly acidic), liquid stabilizer is pH balanced and will not significantly drop your pool's pH or alkalinity.
