METHOD FOR REDUCING CYANURIC ACID IN RECREATIONAL WATER SYSTEMS

1 . A method for increasing clarity of water in a recreational water system, the method comprising contacting the water with a composition that includes:

(a) a mixture of Bacillus species comprising Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus licheniformis, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens , and Bacillus pumilus , wherein the mixture of Bacillus species has a bacterial concentration of at least 1×10 6 colony forming units (CFU) per gram of the mixture, and

(b) a mixture of Lactobacillus species comprising Pediococcus acidilactici, Pediococcus pentosaceus , and Lactobacillus plantarum , wherein the mixture of Lactobacillus species has a bacterial concentration of at least 1×10 6 CFU per gram of the mixture.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the composition further comprises between 75-99% w/w of anhydrous dextrose or dextrose monohydrate.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the Bacillus subtilis comprises Mojavensis and/or Bacillus subtilis 34 KLB.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein each of the Bacillus species are individually fermented aerobically, dried, and ground to an average particle size of about 200 microns.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein each of the Lactobacillus species are fermented anaerobically, dried, and ground to an average particle size of about 200 microns.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the Bacillus and Lactobacillus species are non-pathogenic.

7 . The method of claim 3 , wherein at least 15% of the Bacillus species are Bacillus subtilis 34 KLB.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein each of the Lactobacillus species are present in equal amounts by weight.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises at least 1% w/w of the Bacillus species.

10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises at least 4% w/w of the Lactobacillus species.

11 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the composition further comprises an inorganic mineral that stimulates bacterial respiration and growth.

12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the inorganic mineral is selected from the group consisting of disodium hydrogen phosphate, dipotassium hydrogen phosphate, sodium dihydrogen phosphate, potassium dihydrogen phosphate, sodium chloride, potassium chloride, magnesium sulfate, calcium sulfate, magnesium chloride, calcium chloride, and iron(III) chloride.

13 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the recreational water system is a swimming pool, a spa, a hot tub, or a jetted tub.

14 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the composition is sprayed onto the surface of the recreational water system.

15 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the composition is applied to a filter unit of the recreational water system.

16 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the recreational water system is dosed by the composition at a concentration range of about 0.01 to 100 ppm.
