It reads at 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 80 and 100 ppm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow the test runs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFill the test tube with pool water, add one of the cyanuric acid TesTabs tablets and let it break up. The sample clouds as it does. You then look straight down through the tube and note the level at which the dot in the base of the tube stops being visible. That is the reading. The kit comes with 50 tablets, so it covers a long stretch of routine testing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy the number matters\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCyanuric acid protects free chlorine from ultraviolet light. Run it too low and sunlight strips the chlorine out of the water within hours. Run it too high and the chlorine that is there becomes sluggish, so the pool needs more of it to hold the same sanitizing power. Since stabilizer only leaves the water through dilution, it climbs quietly over a season and is worth measuring rather than assuming.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LaMotte","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48634419970260,"sku":"LAM-45-900","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_7caead6a-4e69-44d2-8e03-04d15d94ec5e.jpg?v=1788830188","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/cyanuric-acid-test-kit","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
