Understanding Sensor Models for Pools With and Without Stabilizer (Cyanuric Acid)

Overview

Water vessels such as pools and spas are managed differently depending on whether or not they use stabilizer (Cyanuric Acid, CYA). Because stabilizer directly impacts how chlorine behaves in water, it is critical to use the correct sensor model and electrolyte/gel type for accurate and reliable measurements.

This article explains how to identify the correct sensor model and compatible electrolyte gel for both stabilized and non-stabilized water vessels.

1. Pools and Spas Without Stabilizer

• Sensor Model Prefix: CS
  Example: CS4MA10-M12

• Description: These sensors are designed for pools and spas that do not contain Cyanuric Acid (CYA).

• Electrolyte/Gel Compatibility:
  Electrolyte/gel models begin with the letter E, followed by the same CS prefix.

  • Example: ECS2.1/GEL is compatible with CS4MA10-M12.

2. Pools and Spas With Stabilizer (Cyanuric Acid Present)

• Sensor Model Prefix: CC
  Example: CC1MA10-M12

• Description: These sensors are specifically designed for pools and spas where Cyanuric Acid is used as a stabilizer.

• Electrolyte/Gel Compatibility:
  Electrolyte/gel models begin with the letter E, followed by the same CC prefix.

  • Example: ECC1.1/GEL is compatible with CC1MA10-M12.
