Product Description
Save money and keep your water safe with PoolMe Chlorine Stabilizer (4 lbs). Without a stabilizer, the sun’s harsh UV rays can destroy up to 90% of your pool's chlorine in just two hours. This premium Cyanuric Acid (CYA) formula acts as a "sunscreen" for your water, shielding chlorine molecules so they stay active longer. By establishing a solid base of stabilizer, you ensure your sanitizer works at peak efficiency, preventing algae blooms and reducing the need for constant chemical re-dosing. It is an essential foundation for any outdoor pool or salt-water system looking to maintain consistent water balance with less effort.
Key Features
- UV Burn-Off Protection: Specialized formula prevents chlorine from being dissipated by direct sunlight, extending the life of your sanitizer.
- Reduces Chemical Costs: By slowing down chlorine loss, this stabilizer significantly lowers the amount of chlorine you need to purchase and add throughout the season.
- 100% Active Ingredient: Contains high-purity Cyanuric Acid (CYA) to ensure maximum effectiveness with no unnecessary fillers or additives.
- Ideal for Salt Systems: Helps salt-water chlorine generators work less frequently, extending the lifespan of your expensive salt cell.
- Stabilized Water Chemistry: Creates a more predictable environment for your water balance, making it easier to maintain safe, crystal-clear swimming conditions.
- Long-Lasting Performance: Unlike other chemicals that evaporate, stabilizer stays in the water until it is physically removed via splash-out or backwashing.

Warnings and Disclaimers
- Irreversible Dosing: Stabilizer does not evaporate. The only way to lower Cyanuric Acid levels is to [partially drain and refill the pool](https://www.poolcalculator.com). Never add more than the calculated dose.
- Chlorine Lock: If CYA levels rise above 100 ppm, your chlorine becomes [chemically over-protected](https://ezclorchemicals.com) and cannot kill bacteria or algae effectively.
- Slow Dissolve Hazard: Granules take a long time to dissolve. Adding directly to a skimmer can [clog plumbing or sit in the filter](https://www.troublefreepool.com); wait 5–7 days after adding before backwashing your filter.
- Safety: Store in a cool, dry place. Keep out of reach of children. Wear gloves and eye protection if dust is present.
💡 Pro-Tips for Success
- The Sock Method: Don't dump this straight into the skimmer. Put the [PoolMe granular stabilizer](https://poolsupplydepot.net) into an old tube sock and hang it in front of a return jet (or place it in the skimmer basket inside the sock). Squeeze the sock occasionally to speed up the process.
- Salt Cell Shield: If you have a [salt-water chlorine generator](https://www.jandy.com), keeping your CYA at the higher end of the range (70-80 ppm) prevents the cell from having to work at 100% capacity, significantly extending its lifespan.
- Wait to Test: It takes several days for stabilizer to fully distribute. Wait at least **one full week** before re-testing your levels to avoid "chasing" the number and accidentally over-stabilizing your water.
