Stabilization of pool water

Pool water stabilization is an essential element of pool maintenance, aimed at ensuring effective disinfection and extending the duration of chlorine. Understanding the principles of stabilization is crucial to maintaining a clean and secure swimming pool for swimming.

What is stabilization?

Pool water stabilization involves the use of a chemical called "isocyanuric acid" (AC). CA protects hypochlorites, the active ingredient in chlorine, from degradation due to solar UV rays.

The benefits of stabilization:

• Reduced loss of free chlorine in pool water.
• Reduced consumption of chlorinated products, allowing long-term savings.
• Extension of the duration of action of chlorine in water, keeping the water disinfected longer.

Use of isocyanuric acid:

Isocyanuric acid is generally in the form of odorless white granules. Its low solubility in water means that its dissolution is slow. It is important to note that the concentration of isocyanuric acid in water can influence the effectiveness of chlorine infection.

How to avoid overstabilization:

To maintain an appropriate stabilizer concentration without achieving overstabilization, follow these recommendations:

• Avoid starting the season with a high concentration by stabilizing, as this can lead to overstabilization
