chlorine stabilizer is cyanuric acid or its derivatives that limit the photolysis of chlorine in an outdoor pool, but in excess weaken its availability.

What does chlorine stabilizer mean in practice?

Cyanuric acid limits the breakdown of chlorine under the influence of UV, extending its retention in an outdoor swimming pool.

When does it matter?

High concentration reduces the share of active chlorine and is not effectively removed by standard filtration.

Which solutions are related to it?

CYA is measured, the level of chlorine in the stabilizer is adjusted and, in case of excess, a partial water change is performed.
