Palintest Photometer Cyanuric Acid Test Tablets, cyanuric acid is extensively used as a chlorine stabiliser in swimming pool water. Cyanuric acid itself may be added to the water when the pool is first filled, or may be introduced gradually through the use of chloroisocyanurate based chlorine donors. Swimming pool water treatment instructions generally recommend a cyanuric acid level within the range 30 - 200 mg/l. In some countries a lower maximum level is recommended. The Palintest Cyanuric Acid test provides a simple method of measuring cyanuric acid level over the range 0 - 200 mg/l.
