**Why is CYA testing important?

CYA, also known as stabilizer or conditioner, is an important chemical in pool and spa water. It helps protect chlorine from being destroyed by the sun's ultraviolet rays, thus extending its lifespan and effectiveness in sanitizing the water. However, too much CYA can lead to chlorine lock or a buildup of cyanuric acid that renders chlorine ineffective. On the

other hand, **too little CYA can result in chlorine burn off and a higher risk of bacteria growth. Therefore, regular testing and maintenance of CYA levels is crucial for proper pool and spa water chemistry. **

**Using the Lamotte ColorQ 2x Test Tube, along with other necessary water tests such as pH and chlorine levels, will ensure that your pool and spa water is safe, clean, and enjoyable for everyone. Regular testing will also help prevent costly repairs and treatments caused by imbalanced water chemistry.

****How to use the Lamotte ColorQ 2x Test Tube***

  1. Take a water sample from your pool or spa using a clean container.
  2. Add one drop of CYA reagent into the test tube.
  3. Shake or swirl the test tube gently to mix the reagent with the water sample.
  4. Compare the color of the solution in the test tube to the color scale on the side of the test tube.
  5. Determine your CYA level based on where the color falls on the scale.
  6. **Record and monitor your CYA levels regularly, and take necessary actions to adjust it if needed.

In conclusion, the Lamotte ColorQ 2x Test Tube is a reliable and convenient tool for testing CYA levels in pool and spa water. With regular use, it will help you maintain proper water balance and ensure enjoyable swimming experiences all season long. Remember to always follow manufacturer instructions and handle and dispose of chemicals properly for your safety and the well-being of your pool or spa. Happy swimming! ******
