Step 1 Directions
Add CYA Remove Step 1 to reduce chlorine level to 1-3 ppm. CYA Remove Step 1 works better with the chlorine level on the lower side of the acceptable 1-3 ppm range. You must maintain a minimum of 1 ppm of chlorine during the CYA removal process.*
*Note: Chlorine can be added gradually as needed to maintain 1 ppm during the process. Do not shock, superchlorinate or add algaecide until after the CYA removal process is complete.
- Balance pool water to the following parameters: Alkalinity: 80-120 ppm, pH: 7.2-7.8 ppm, Phosphates: Below 100 ppb. Note: Water temperatures should be above 65 degrees.
- Test chlorine level. Compare to chart below to determine required amount of CYA Remove Step 1 to reduce chlorine level to 1-3 ppm.
- With pool system running, add required amount of CYA Remove Step 1 to the pool water evenly around the edge.
- Continue circulating pool water for at least 4 hours (while prepping the contents for CYA Remove Step 2). Re-test chlorine level to ensure it is in the proper range prior to proceeding to step 2.
Dosing Instructions:
2.5 oz per 10,000 gallons of water will lower chlorine level by 1 ppm.

Step 2 Directions
This powerful formula reduces cyanuric acid in swimming pool water. CYA Remove Step 2 works efficiently to break down cyanuric acid. It allows for much easier removal process than draining or diluting pool water.
CYA Remove Step 2 treats up to 25,000 gallons of pool water with cyanuric acid levels up to 150 ppm.
- Test CYA level using the test strips provided with this kit.
- Prior to treating the pool, add entire contents of CYA Remove Step 2 to a 5 gallon bucket of warm water (75˚F - 90˚F) and let it sit for a minimum of 4 hours. Do not leave bucket unattended, keep mixture out of the reach of children.
- Add mixture to the skimmer with the pool circulation system running. Pools without skimmers can add mixture directly into the pool with the circulation system running.
- Continue running the circulation system for a minimum of 4 hours following application, as well as each day for the next week. Proper water chemistry should be maintained including chlorine between 1-3 ppm.
Note: Chlorine can be added gradually. Do not shock, superchlorinate or add algaecide until after the CYA removal process is complete.
- Allow 7-10 days to see full results of the treatment, then test the CYA level using the test strips provided. The ideal range is between 30-50 ppm. Reintroduce CYA if needed using Natural Chemistry's Instant Pool Water Conditioner.
