Method for reducing cyanuric acid in recreational water systems

1. A composition comprising

a. between 75-99% w/w of anhydrous dextrose or dextrose monohydrate;

b. a mixture of Bacillus bacterial species comprising Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus licheniformis, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens , and Bacillus pumilus having a bacterial concentration of at least 1×10 6 colony forming units (CFU) per gram of the mixture, wherein each of the Bacillus species are individually fermented aerobically, dried, and ground to an average particle size of about 200 microns, and wherein the Bacillus subtilis comprises Mojavensis and Bacillus subtilis 34 KLB; and

c. a mixture of Lactobacillus bacterial species comprising Pediococcus acidilactici, Pediococcus pentosaceus , and Lactobacillus plantarum having a bacterial concentration of at least 1×10 6 colony forming units (CFU) per gram of the mixture, wherein each of the Lactobacillus species are fermented anaerobically, dried, and ground to an average particle size of about 200 microns.
