	It is recommended that cyanuric acid be maintained at 20 to 40 ppm to decrease the breakdown of chlorine due to UV radiation (sunlight). These values are based upon a combination of recommendations by the State of Michigan Dept. of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy (EGLE), Pool & Hot Tub Association (PHTA) and Chemtrol unit.
