    Any CYA powder that's 100% Isocyanuric or cyanuric acid is fine.

    The question isn't how much you should add, but what level of CYA do you desire. Usually, in a location like yours, something between 30 and 50 ppm is a good target.

    .
    An additional thought: Consider adding less CYA than you think you need so you don't overshoot your goal. You can always add more in a later if you need to. CYA levels don't naturally lower that much over time.

    I undershoot with all my additions except chlorine. Call me over-cautious if you will...
