Cyanurate Alkalinity
Cyanurate alkalinity represents the level of cyanuric acid present in swimming pool water, as cyanuric acid is used as a chlorine stabilizer in chlorinated outdoor swimming pools.

Copper
Copper is a metal that can find its way into swimming pools with unbalanced water, resulting in metal pool equipment corroding and releasing copper into the pool water which can stain surfaces and leave the water a green-blue color.
-
Color Chart
A color chart is often referred to when testing swimming pool water, and is often found in test kits and in test strip containers.
-
Chlorine Stabilizer
A chlorine stabilizer refers to a chemical added to chlorine in manufacturing, or adding separately to swimming pool water to reduce the rate chlorine dissipates in water.
-
Chlorine Neutralizer
A chlorine neutralizer refers to a chemical or method to reduce or remove chlorine present in a swimming pool.
-
Chlorine Free
Chlorine free is a general term to describe a swimming pool or a chemical added to pool water that does not contain any chlorine or break down in the water to release chlorine.
-
Chloramines
Chloramines can form in swimming pool water with levels of chlorine that are too low, and are also referred to as combined chlorine.
-
Cavitation
Cavitation is surface damage that occurs often in improperly-sized swimming pool equipment, where the water is pumped at pressures and velocities beyond limits, creating damaging high and low pressures.
-
Cationic Sanitation
Cationic sanitation is a method of cleaning a swimming pool by use of a cationic surfactant, which makes water wetter and enables sanitation products for pools reach small crevices where microbes can grow.
-
Carbonate Alkalinity
Carbonate alkalinity represents the amount of carbonate ions present in water, and can be indirectly determined in swimming pool water by measuring the water calcium hardness level.
