Dilution. You have to remove the overstabilized water and top-off the pool with fresh.

Try it in a test sample first. Fill a cup, pour out 25%, top the cup back up with fresh non-pool water and retest your stabilizer level. If that's not low enough, try 33% or 50%. This will tell you how much water you will need to replace in your pool.

The only way to remove cyanuric acid is by replacing the water. Tell me how many ppm you have and how many gallons and I can tell you how much to remove.

When do you add stabilizer to the pool?

Stabilizer is used to protect Chlorine from the UV rays of the sun. If chlorine is not protected from the sun, all the shock you added yesterday will be gone by lunchtime today. A normal stabizer level is around 40ppm (parts per million) if you get above 100 ppm your pool water can lock up and chemicals will become inactive. Also note: if your level becomes too high the only way to lower it is to exchange water in the pool. If you use a stabilized chlorine, it will, over time increase your stabilizer level in the pool. So be careful not to over stabilize. It is better to error on the side of under stabilize the to over stabilize. Stabilizer is also known as Cyanuric Acid


What stabilizer can be used in salt water in place of cyuranic acid which turns pool yellow and use of yellow-out to correct?

It's a common misspelling of "alkalinity", which is the resistance of water (often treated water or pool water) to change in pH levels. It's not inaccurate to think of "alkalinity" as 'pH stabilizer'.
