Cyanuric acid dose by pool volume

How much stabiliser takes an unstabilised pool to 40 ppm, at every common pool volume. Open a volume for the full 10 to 50 ppm table.

Every dose below is worked out for that exact volume. If yours is not on the list, the calculator takes any number.

5,000 litres 200 g
7,000 litres 280 g
10,000 litres 400 g
15,000 litres 600 g
20,000 litres 800 g
25,000 litres 1,000 g
28,000 litres 1.12 kg
30,000 litres 1.2 kg
35,000 litres 1.4 kg
40,000 litres 1.6 kg
45,000 litres 1.8 kg
50,000 litres 2 kg
60,000 litres 2.4 kg
70,000 litres 2.8 kg
80,000 litres 3.2 kg

Stabiliser only goes one way

Stabiliser is the one reading that only goes up. Nothing consumes it, so the only way down is replacing water. It also raises the free chlorine you have to hold, by roughly 7.5% of the cyanuric acid reading as a floor. That trade is why 30 to 50 ppm suits most pools and 60 to 80 ppm suits salt pools, rather than more being better.
