Pentair Rainbow Cyanuric Acid Testing Reagent, 32 oz | R161616

Pentair R161616 Cyanuric Acid Testing Reagent is a genuine Pentair replacement reagent designed for measuring cyanuric acid (CYA), also known as chlorine stabilizer or conditioner, in swimming pool and spa water. Supplied in a convenient 32-ounce bottle, this testing solution is ideal for pool service professionals, commercial facilities, and residential pool owners who regularly monitor water chemistry.

Cyanuric acid helps protect chlorine from degradation caused by the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays. Proper testing of CYA levels is essential for maintaining effective chlorine sanitation and preventing excessive stabilizer buildup. Pentair R161616 allows users to monitor stabilizer concentrations using compatible Pentair Rainbow water testing equipment.

Why Test Cyanuric Acid?

Cyanuric acid acts as a stabilizer that reduces chlorine loss caused by sunlight. While maintaining sufficient CYA helps extend chlorine effectiveness in outdoor pools, excessive concentrations can reduce chlorine's sanitizing efficiency.

Regular cyanuric acid testing is particularly important after adding pool stabilizer, draining or refilling pool water, or making significant adjustments to pool chemistry.

Usage Instructions

  1. Collect a pool or spa water sample according to the instructions supplied with your compatible testing kit.
  2. Add the specified amount of Pentair R161616 Cyanuric Acid Reagent.
  3. Mix the sample as directed by the testing kit manufacturer.
  4. Complete the cyanuric acid measurement procedure using the appropriate testing equipment.
  5. Compare the result with the recommended stabilizer concentration for your pool and sanitizer system.

Note: This product is a testing reagent and is not intended to be added directly to pool or spa water as a chemical treatment. Follow the instructions provided with your compatible Pentair testing kit.
