Liquid Stabilizer

[waterbear]

Can you provide an exact product name, and list of ingredients? If there's a patent number, that should help too.

They don't have it listed on their website.

But, I've learned the hard way, that it is generally very wise to avoid "NEW" pool chemicals. Most of them turn out to be "BAD" pool chemicals.

Ben,
NaturalChemisty (the enzyme and phosphate remover people!) is selling a liquid stabilizer but you have to email them for the MSDS (as for all of their product line!) and it has not been approved for use in California.

They claim it is not an acid but a salt and has a pH of about 8.
I wonder about this product myself. It is the only liquid stabilizer I have ever seen. Perhaps this is the one being referred to in this thread?

WaterBear, that is the exact product they tried to sell me... I recognize the bottle...I didn't see the words "cynauric acid" anywhere, so I said no thanks... I will patient and add my cya slowly but surely....

I think caution is in order.

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.
