Thanks again

CYa is cyanuric acid, or isocyanuric acid. It is usually labelled balancer, conditioner, or stabilizer. You can get it in the pool section at WalMart, or at Home Depot or a pool store. Borax is sold at WalMart or any grocery store in the laundry aisle, near the bleach--it comes in a big green box.
