Question 1

I'm a first time pool owner. What are the "levels" you all keep referring to?

Accepted Answer

If you put chlorine into a pool that has been freshly filled, the sun and air will cause the chlorine to quickly evaporate.  Cyanuric Acid (CyA) forms a weak bond (stabilizes) with the chlorine that you put in and then releases the chlorine slowly, kind of like the effects of time-released medication.  Too little Cyanuric Acid (less than about 30 parts per million - ppm) and your chlorine evaporates too fast. More than about 100 ppm and the Cyanuric Acid never lets go of the chlorine, thus leaving you with little or no "free chlorine."  Free chlorine is what keeps things from growing in your pool.  You want to keep the CyA level between 30 ppm and 100 ppm. Chlorine evaporates but Cyanuric Acid stays in you pool until you dump some of the water.  Regular backwashing should help keep the CyA level down but if it gets to 100 ppm your chlorine will stop working well.  At that point, drain and replace 1/2 of the pool water and that should drop the CyA-level back to about the 50 ppm level. Pool tablets contain CyA and using them will increase the CyA level of your water but, when you first fill the pool, adding tablets alone will not get the CyA level up fast enough to keep all the chlorine in your tablets from evaporating.  This product allows you to get that new water up to the 30 ppm level needed to hold the chlorine.
