Maintaining the proper chemical balance in your above-ground pool is essential for keeping the water clean and safe for swimming. One important chemical to monitor is stabilizer, also known as cyanuric acid. Stabilizer helps to protect chlorine from the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays, which can break down chlorine and make it less effective at sanitizing the pool water.
If the stabilizer level in your pool is too low, chlorine will be rapidly depleted by the sun’s UV rays. This can lead to algae growth and other water quality problems. On the other hand, if the stabilizer level is too high, it can make it difficult for chlorine to work effectively. This can also lead to water quality problems.
