HTH Pool Care Stabiliser 1kg

HTH Pool Care Stabiliser 1kg is a granular cyanuric acid treatment specifically formulated to protect free available chlorine from ultraviolet degradation in outdoor swimming pools.

By chemically bonding with chlorine, it ensures the sanitiser remains effective during peak daylight hours, maintaining water hygiene and preventing the rapid depletion caused by the intense South African sun.

Product Specifications and Features

• • Active Ingredient: Contains one hundred percent cyanuric acid in a granular form for targeted chemical balancing.
• • Chlorine Retention: Significantly increases the half-life of chlorine when exposed to direct sunlight in open air environments.
• • Compatibility: Formulated for use with all chlorine-based sanitisers including calcium hypochlorite, liquid chlorine, and saltwater chlorination systems.
• • Application Size: Convenient one kilogram pack size suitable for small to medium residential pools or for specific seasonal chemical adjustments.

Ideal Use and Application

• • Application Rate: Standard dosage requires five hundred grams per fifty thousand litres of water to increase the stabiliser level by ten parts per million.
• • Application Method: Add the granules slowly via the pool weir while the filtration system is running to ensure even distribution through the return jets.
• • Ideal Levels: Maintain a cyanuric acid level between thirty and fifty parts per million for optimal chlorine efficiency and water balance.
• • Precaution: Do not backwash the filter for at least 48 hours after application as the product takes time to dissolve fully within the filter media.

Safety and Storage

• • Storage Conditions: Keep the container tightly sealed in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and moisture.
• • Handling: Avoid breathing in dust and wear protective gloves if you have sensitive skin; always wash hands thoroughly after application.
• • Chemical Safety: Never mix this product directly with other pool chemicals; add it to the pool water independently to prevent unwanted chemical reactions.

Frequently Asked Questions

• • How often should I add stabiliser? Stabiliser does not evaporate, so you only need to top it up when the pool water is replaced or significantly diluted by heavy rainfall.
• • Can I swim immediately after adding it? It is recommended to wait at least fifteen minutes for the granules to clear the weir and enter the filtration system before swimming.
• • What happens if my stabiliser level is too high? Excessive cyanuric acid can lead to chlorine lock, where the chlorine becomes too suppressed to kill bacteria and algae effectively.

Pro Tip for Pool Owners

• • To speed up the dissolving process after a storm, place the required dose of granules into an old stocking or a fine mesh bag and hang it in front of the return jet.
• • This prevents granules from sitting on the pool floor and ensures they dissolve into the water stream much faster.
