Review: Does the job - I used this to reduce the level of the UV protection in the pool. It had gotten so high the chlorine wasn't doing its job even when the residual level was high. The other option I knew of was to partially drain the pool and replace the water which is more expensive and a waste of water. I have what I consider a normal sized pool and it only took half a bag. After you add it wait a week or so to test. It is not an instant thing.
Review: Does not work. Waste of money. - Natural chemistry products are usually high quality however this cyanuric acid product is not one of them. It's worthless. I tried the 8 oz. sized pouch the previous swim season but I had just added their "no-phos" product and then read that it interferes with the performance of the cyanuric acid reducer so I assumed the poor results were my fault. This season I tried the larger sized 16 oz. bag and did not add "no-phos" or chlorine from 7 days prior to usage and I also waited for the weather to warm up to 70 degrees and over as prescribed in the instructions. Results were the same this season as last season which were none. No reduction of cyanuric acid was achieved. Do not buy this expensive ineffective product. I had my pool water checked at the local Leslie's Pool Supply who used to sell this product but they also confirmed that it doesn't work.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you swim after using the product?**
A: We had folks swimming after it was put in. However, I never got the product to work. Found it to be a failed and expensive mistake. Ended up dropping the water in the pool and refilling it to get the Cyanuric acid down.

**Q: Does this work with a uv sanitizer ?**
A: This product doesn't work at all. This product is a waste of money. Leslie's Pool Supplies used to carry this product in their brick & mortar stores but ceased carrying it due to all the complaints they about this not working. The only way to reduce the cyanuric acid level in your pool is to change at least 25% up to 100% of the water in the pool.

**Q: Can this be used in a covered pool?**
A: Yes, you can use it in a covered pool.

**Q: Does the water gets cloudy after application of the product?**
A: Not in my experience. It also didn't lower my cyanuric acid levels sufficiently. I ended up pumping out some water and refilling.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Long term review and how to make this product work
*by D***R on July 14, 2024*

Okay... I've read the reviews and tried this last year. Here's the real deal. It 100% can work. It dropped my pool from 190ppm to 20pm. I use a Taylor kit to measure CYA so it's as accurate as anything non lab. 22k gallon pool. How it works. This is not a chemical. It's a living bacteria that through its biological process can convert CYA into something else which I believe is ammonia. How to use. Knowing that it's alive... your pool cannot contain chlorine when the product is added. I know it says 1-3ppm but that's not going to work as it destroys the product. Use chlorine remover if needed. The water needs to be warm if possible. I did this after labor day when it was too cold really to swim but still warmish. Mix the product and follow the directions to add it. Now... wait. I mean it. It takes a LONG time. I left the pool open and green until it got cold and the algae started to die on its own. I closed the pool as it was. I couldn't help it but I tested the CYA and found it to be around 120. It did work... but it was still too high for my goal. When I opened the pool it actually wasn't very bad. I can only assume the organisms ate the algae as it had zero chlorine. A significant amount of dead algae, which looks similar to sand was on the bottom of the pool. I tested the water for all factors... everything needed adjustment but CYA was around 50. I had won. At this point I was ecstatic. The part they don't tell you... this organism makes what I believe is ammonia from the CYA. Ammonia destroys chlorine at an alarming rate. I added a super shock of cal hypo and brought it to 15ppm. The next morning it was zero. I did this again. Zero next day... I've never had chlorine leave my pool so quickly by any stretch. I knew the game though. You MUST hold the ppm around 15 whatever it takes or the organism can keep multiplying. It's like fighting algae except this organism can destroy chlorine. I bought 8 gallons of liquid when I realized I would deplete the cal hypo. I kept testing and adding cal hypo and then liquid until the rate of loss slowed. After about a week I could hold the chlorine around 8ppm with a "normal" addition. I was out of chlorine though... 15lbs and 8 gallons would normally last me a couple months but it ate it in a week. You need to be ready for this. If you allow the ppm to drop the organism will regenerate and you start over basically which obviously gets expensive fast. Just trust the process and test/add at least twice a day. Trust me when I say you want 15ppm at least. Nobody is swimming so it won't hurt a thing. Heck 30 would be better. Whatever you pick make sure to hold it there until it doesn't drop quickly. Now... at this point the water should be clear. Vac the algae dust and balance the other factors. Notice I didn't do that until now. Lower ph helps chlorine work. Balance as you normally would probably needing some ph up. Keep in mind with lower CYA it will drop chlorine faster than you are accustomed but nowhere like that first week. Enjoy the pool and make sure you never use stabilized chlorine ever again. Liquid is best as it's pure chlorine with water only. Cal hypo is next best but has some downsides. If CYA is too low you might need to add a bit but let's not undo all that work. I believe 30 is plenty. I know it sounds like a lot and it is but is better than draining and refilling 22,000 gallons. Another note... hopefully the manufacturer reads this. My sealed 16oz bag had only 8oz. I have a quality scale and calibration weights. I only measured it because it felt light. I know what 16oz feels like and this wasn't it... turned out I was correct. I was very upset at first but now that it has worked all is forgiven. That said... please fix this as it appears to smudge the reputation. I originally made a very poor review that amazon denied. I still have a video of me weighing the sealed bag to backup my claim but as I said I no longer wish to make a problem of it. I took a star away due to this and the lack of complete instructions like I gave here. If you read other reviews you will see others have had similar experiences. A final note. After all this I ended up going salt chlorine generator. I highly recommend one. I've literally done almost nothing to keep my pool clean this season. With the high CYA I was fighting algae constantly for two seasons. This season with low CYA and SWG I just run the pump ~8hrs a day and add some acid every few days. Vac from time to time. It's crystal clear and I'm done buying chlorine. If you are on the fence, do it. Buy a SWG rated for twice as many gallons as your pool. Another somewhat problematic thing... but yeah they are not rated properly. Go higher. Thanks for reading and I hope you find this helpful.
