Pool Mate Cyanuric Acid Pool Stabilizer & Conditioner, 7 lb Pack — Fast-Dissolving, Concentrated

Pool Mate 7-Pounds Premium Pool Stabilizer and Conditioner is a cyanuric acid powder designed to quickly stabilize pool water and extend chlorine’s effective life by maintaining recommended CYA levels.

Pool Mate’s 7-pound formula delivers a concentrated cyanuric acid treatment that dissolves rapidly, helping protect free chlorine from UV breakdown and keeping sanitization levels steady. It’s intended for routine balancing when filling or treating outdoor pools, and the package includes guidance and a dosing chart to reach the target cyanuric acid (CYA) range of 40–100 ppm. Used together with routine testing and maintaining proper pH (7.4–7.6) and chlorine residual (2.0–4.0 ppm), this conditioner supports more consistent pool chemistry and reduces the frequency of shock dosing.

How quickly will Pool Mate dissolve and take effect?

Pool Mate disperses fast when added correctly; full dissolution is achieved with continuous water recirculation for 24 hours. For best results, add the product slowly into the skimmer or premix in warm water before pouring into the skimmer to avoid undissolved granules settling on the pool floor.

• Dissolves faster with the pump on and a clean filter.
• Recirculate for 24 hours to ensure complete mixing.
• Premix in a bucket of warm water if worried about granules.
• Monitor for any residue and brush if necessary after circulation.

How much Pool Mate should I add to reach the right CYA level?

The package provides a dosing chart — as a rule of thumb, 6 ounces of this cyanuric acid product raises CYA about 10 ppm per 5,000 gallons. For pools that are new, freshly refilled, or have no stabilizer, add about 4 ounces per 1,000 gallons to achieve a starting range near 40–100 ppm.

• 6 oz raises CYA ~10 ppm per 5,000 gallons.
• Add 4 oz per 1,000 gallons for new/refilled pools to reach target range.
• Always test with a reliable kit before and after dosing.
• Adjust in small increments to avoid overshooting the 40–100 ppm window.

Will Pool Mate affect my chlorine or pH levels?

Pool Mate is formulated to reduce chlorine loss from sunlight by raising cyanuric acid levels; it does not function as a sanitizer and won’t replace routine chlorine maintenance. While it’s not a pH adjuster, maintaining pH between 7.4 and 7.6 and free chlorine at 2.0–4.0 ppm remains essential for effective sanitation.

• Helps protect free chlorine from UV degradation.
• Does not sanitize—continue regular chlorine dosing.
• Check and correct pH separately; ideal range is 7.4–7.6.
• Test chlorine levels after stabilizer dosing to verify residuals.

Who is this for: Pool Mate 7-Pounds Premium Pool Stabilizer and Conditioner suits owners of outdoor residential pools who want to protect chlorine from UV breakdown and simplify maintenance between shocks. It’s especially useful for newly filled pools, pools that show rapid chlorine drop-off, or any pool owner who prefers predictable dosing and chemical stability. Use it alongside a reliable test kit, keep filters clean, and maintain recommended chlorine and pH ranges for consistent water balance.
