The Salco 100 lb Pool Stabilizer is an essential maintenance chemical for any outdoor chlorinated swimming pool. The active ingredient, isocyanuric acid (CYA), acts as a protective shield for chlorine molecules, drastically reducing the loss of free chlorine residual caused by the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays.
By maintaining an ideal stabilizer level (typically 30–50 ppm), pool owners can ensure their sanitizer operates at peak efficiency, minimize overall chemical costs, and protect their pool surfaces from corrosion and staining. This product is sold in durable 100-pound drums for professional use or bulk purchasing.
Key Performance Features
- Prevents Chlorine Loss: Dramatically reduces the degradation of chlorine caused by the sun, making your sanitizer last longer and work more efficiently.
- Reduces Maintenance Costs: Lower chlorine consumption results in fewer chemical purchases and less time spent constantly re-dosing the pool.
- High Purity Formula: Contains approximately 98%–100% pure cyanuric acid for reliable and consistent results.
- Versatile Application: Suitable for all outdoor pools and compatible with most chlorine-based sanitizing systems.
- Easy to Use: Granules can be broadcast directly across the pool surface or slowly added through the skimmer (for plastic piping systems).

Warnings and Disclaimers
- Safety Gear: In dusty conditions, use safety glasses and a NIOSH approved dust mask if total dust level exceeds 10 mg/m³.
- Handling: Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Wash thoroughly after handling.
- Mixing Rules: Keep separated from strong acids to avoid vigorous reactions. Always add product to pool water.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry area in a sealed container or bag. Protect from moisture to prevent caking and loss of performance.
- Environmental: This product is generally not regulated for transport but should be disposed of in a secured landfill according to local regulations.
Pro Tips
- Dosage Calculation: According to the label suggestion, 1.4 lbs of sodium bicarbonate per 10,000 gallons of water will raise total alkalinity by 10 ppm.
- Application: Ensure the pool pump is running. Distribute the granular product across the surface of the water in the deep end for fastest dissolution.
- The "Alkalinity First" Principle: Sodium bicarbonate raises both total alkalinity (TA) and pH. Adjusting TA to the 80-150 ppm range first will help naturally stabilize the pH within the ideal 7.2-7.8 range.
- Dissolution: The product dissolves quickly in water. However, allow 6-8 hours for complete distribution and re-testing before adding more.
- Optimal Sanitizer Performance: Maintaining proper pH and alkalinity is crucial, as it allows your chlorine sanitizer to work most efficiently, preventing eye irritation and scale formation.
