Instantly Test Your Pool’s Stabilizer Levels with Insta-TEST® Cyanuric Acid Test Strips

20, May 2025

When it comes to pool maintenance, knowing what’s happening beneath the surface is just as important as keeping the water crystal clear. One chemical parameter that often gets overlooked — but is absolutely essential — is Cyanuric Acid (CYA).

To make monitoring your stabilizer levels simple and fast, LaMotte offers the Insta-TEST® Cyanuric Acid Test Strips — a must-have tool for anyone serious about swimming pool water testing in Australia.

Why is Cyanuric Acid So Important in Pools?

Cyanuric Acid acts like sunscreen for your pool’s chlorine. It protects chlorine molecules from being broken down too quickly by the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays — a huge deal, especially under the intense Australian sun!

Here’s the thing:

Too little Cyanuric Acid → Your chlorine evaporates rapidly, making it hard to maintain a sanitary pool.

Too much Cyanuric Acid → It can lock up chlorine and make it less effective at killing bacteria and algae.

Maintaining the correct stabilizer level (typically between 30–50 ppm for outdoor pools) is crucial for both water safety and cost-effective maintenance.

That’s where a quick, reliable pool water test kit in Australia — like Insta-TEST® Cyanuric Acid strips — becomes essential.

What Makes Insta-TEST® Cyanuric Acid Strips Stand Out?

The Insta-TEST® strips aren’t just another basic test — they’re specifically designed for quick, accurate results:

Wide Range Testing
 Measures stabilizer levels from 0, 40, 100, 150, 250, to 500 ppm instantly. Whether you’re checking a backyard pool or a large commercial facility, these strips have you covered.

Durable Packaging
 Each set comes in a waterproof PopTop bottle with a molded desiccant liner. This protects the strips from moisture and UV light, ensuring longer shelf life and reliable results — even in Australia’s humid and hot conditions.

User-Friendly

No complicated steps.

Simply dip the strip into the water and match the color.

Includes trilingual instructions (English, Spanish, and French), making it easy for all users.

Portable & Convenient
 Small, lightweight, and easy to carry — ideal for pool service pros and homeowners alike.

How to Use Insta-TEST® Cyanuric Acid Strips

Testing is as easy as 1-2-3:

  1. Dip a strip into your pool or spa water.
  2. Wait just a few seconds.
  3. Compare the color on the strip to the provided chart to determine your CYA level.

It’s that fast. No messy reagents, no waiting around, and no second-guessing your results. Perfect for when you need reliable readings on the go!
