High cyanuric acid (CYA) might be the sneaky reason your pool isn’t staying clear—even when your chlorine readings look fine. Here’s the lowdown from your friends at Havana Pools & Outdoors:
🔍 Why it matters: CYA acts like sunscreen for chlorine, but too much (over 50 PPM) means your sanitizer can’t fight off algae or cloudy water.
🚫 The quick fix: Stop using trichlor tablets and switch to liquid chlorine. Liquid chlorine doesn’t add more CYA.
💧 Pro tip: If your CYA is way too high, partially drain and refill your pool before making the switch.
