I think caution is in order.Originally Posted by waterbear
I don't like the scare tactics they use to sell against CYA . . . and the fact that they never refer to any cyanurates makes me suspicious.
Before CYA was applied to pools, some old time pool guys used ammonia (to generate monochloramine) or sulfamic acid (to generate some UV stable chlorine / sulfamate compounds). Both these approaches were far less satisfactory than CYA stabilization. But, the fact that the Nature Chem writers mention no patents, makes me think they may be trying to use one of these old methods. Most likely, the MSDS will tell, which may be why they are not making them available online.
Usually when people hide something . . . it's because they've got something to hide.
