Title: cyanuric acid home use?
Post by: pcm81 on April 15, 2024, 01:31:47 PM

I have about 15 pounds of cyanuric acid left from a year ago adjusting my pools chlorine stabilizer levels after a refill. Is there anything fun / useful i can use it for around the house or should i just toss it? I do occasionally use acids like ascorbic, citric, phosphoric, sulfuric, etc for cleaning or plating; so not a stranger to acids, but am not sure about this one...
Thanks ahead

Mix it with lime and use it as fertilizer. Source for Nitrogen.

That qualifies as tossing it in my book. Strategically, into certain locations, but still tossing it.
