Answer: Once a month
Explanation: You should test the cyanuric acid level of your pool at least once a month during the swimming season. However, if you experience heavy rainfall, significant water loss, or have recently added water to the pool, it’s a good idea to test more frequently. Keeping cyanuric acid levels within the recommended range (30-50 ppm) helps protect chlorine from being degraded by sunlight and ensures effective sanitation.
