How to Add a Dry CYA - Cyanuric Acid in your Above Ground Pool

- Adding powder CYA in a pool suggest that you add it into the skimmer however, most above ground pool does not come with a skimmer. If you tried adding the powder directly into the water, you will realize that the powder does not mix easily into the water.
If you do not have a skimmer, one technique that you can do is to add the powder into a sock or any piece of cloth and place it to the return screen or simply leave it in the water for at least 10 minutes then squeeze it out of the socks as I demonstrated in this video. You can also do the same technique with a Dry Acid. The only powder that I add directly into the pool is the shock.

The sock trick is great. Thanks
You are welcome.
This video is very helpful! Thank you!
You're so welcome!
excellent idea on the sock
Thanks.
THANK YOU! Now, that was easy to understand! I appreciate it.
Thank you for your kind words, it means a lot!
This is genius. I’m doing it this way from here on
Thank you for your kind words and support!
Thank u!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I thought a pool sock was something special. It's just a sock... Good to know thanks so much.
Yup. It is just a sock. Or you can use any fabric to hold the dry CYA so it does not go into the bottom of your pool.
Also there are special “pool socks” but that’s related to the skimmer, this is something else
@@mikeneuburger3989 That is correct. For Dry CYA you just need a regular sock or cloth.
I heard about sock idea but 1st time I'm seeing it so thank you. There are pool filter socks you can buy on amazon, but they go in your filter, which would not work for me as water would flow right out.
Hey, thanks for checking out the video! Socks really do have more uses than we think, right?
I used a pantie hose and it worked great.
Thanks for the information.
How long would you wait to add this after shocking the pool? Also thanks for this idea, not a fan of those giant tablets,
You don't really need to wait to add this after shocking the pool. But some just follow the rule of 30 minutes between each chemical to give them chance to spread before adding another.
I just poured it in , and kept swirling it around, now I know to use a sock. So how long does it take to dissolve if I poured it in? I have a vinyl pool. I’m new to this pool stuff
Hi! I'm not sure how long it will take to dissolve if you just swirl it around. I have to brush the pool floor to dissolve the granules. If you have a small pool, you may need to get something like this kit to keep your pool clean.
amzn.to/4ethTl4 or this amzn.to/4eoDJq1
Or get something with longer pole if you have a large pool.
When can i swim when using this method? Do i wait till the levels show up?
You would want to wait at least 45 min before going in after adding chemicals to give it a chance to mix in and get deluted in water.
How often would you have to do this?
You do this one time at the beginning of the pool season and you want to check the level again IF and WHEN you do a drain and refill.
If you only lose water through evaporation and common splash out while playing in the water you should not add more for the season.
If you are planning on using chlorine tablets, you should start your CYA at the lowest number (30) because the tablet will increase the CYA number overtime. But with a small pool like this you will most likely splash out enough water that will help keep the CYA within range.
How much do you add to a 1000 gallon pool
You will only need 4 oz for 1,000 gallon pool to increase your CYA from 0 to 30ppm.
What does the sock do?
Hi. Check 1:15 where I talk about the use of sock. Basically if you just toss the dry acid in the water, it won't dissolve properly and will stay at the bottom of your pool.

Thanks👍👍I made that mistake last time and my pool was cloudy & it took forever to dissolve
Yup. It happens to me the first time I added the Dry CYA. That is why I use the sock method. I learned it from Trouble Free Pool forum.
When i squeeze my hands after half an hour, nothing comes out of the sock...wat cud be the problem
So you left it in the pool water for 30 minutes and nothing is coming out still when you squeeze? Maybe leave it for another 30 min and let it get soaked in.
@@diymanual nothing came out even after 4 hours .. But after 12 hours it got dissolved completely.. There was nothing in it.
@@anees5675 that was weird but hey. It got dissolved and it did not accumulate in your pool floor.
@@diymanual no accumulation ... May be chemical production difference... I'm from India
It could be. Thanks for commenting and letting me know where you're from. It's always cool to connect with viewers from around the world. Keep watching and enjoy the video!
I added it to my deep end and regret it.
I did that the first time I added the CYA. Then I learned the sock technique from the pool forum.
@@diymanual I was brushing the pool for a good hour
@@amberwilliamshairbyamber0690 Yup.
