Is your pool chlorine level not registering after shock
Don't worry, it's a common issue for new pool owners. The main reason is likely a lack of cyanuric acid, CYA
a stabilizer that protects chlorine from UV rays. Without it, chlorine can disappear within hours
To fix this, test your CYA levels and add a pool conditioner to reach 30 to 50 ppm
parts per million for traditional pools or 60 to 80 ppm for saltwater pools
After adding the stabilizer, you'll likely see chlorine registering on your test strips
Remember to test CYA monthly and chlorine weekly to maintain balanced, safe water
