I prefer my customers pools to be below 70 ppm.
Anything above is excessive and unnecessary.
Cyanuric acid is a stabiliser that stabilises chlorine and stops it from being burned of by the sun. Cyanuric acid and stabiliser are both the same product.
Cyanuric acid is not the same as muriatic acid. Cyanuric acid is odorless and white in color. It is used as a component of disinfectants, bleaches, and herbicides. Muriatic acid is clear solution of hydrogen chloride in water.
Yes, Cyanuric acid is less toxic than table salt. The median lethal dose (LD50) for table salt is 3,000 mg/kg of body weight while for Cyanuric acid it is 7700 mg/kg of body weight which means it is classified as 'essentially non toxic".

stabilzer
No, sodium bicarb is used to increase alkalinity. Cyanuric acid is used as a stabalizer. One is base the other acidic.
No. Two different acids.
Iodine contamination - don't ask how it could happen. Very high levels of CYA - cyanuric acid or conditioner.
cyanuric acid can react with melamine to create toxins in the body, melamine may be found in dairy products from time to time.
Cyanuric acid is generally called chlorine stabilizer and it is used to prevent the suns UV rays from eating up the chlorine in outdoor pools. Because most spa's are covered when not in use this is generally not a concern for spa or hot tub owners. If you do however have an outdoor uncovered spa and you wish to raise the CYA level you would simply visit your local pool supply store and purchase some chlorine stabilizer, just ask for cyanuric acid and they will know what to get you.
Dissolve cyanuric acid in a bucket full of water before adding to the pool. The hotter the water the better as the crystals take a very long time to dissolve completly in cold water.
Have you tested cyanuric acid ( stabilizer ) ?
