Product Details
This alkalinity increaser is designed to help raise total alkalinity levels and support more stable pH conditions in pool water when used as directed. Maintaining balanced alkalinity can assist with overall water balance and support consistent sanitizer performance as part of routine pool care.
How to use
Add this product directly to the pool water with the circulation system running and brush any settled product from surfaces.
Add 1.4 lbs per 10,000 gallons of water to increase total alkalinity by 10 ppm (1 lb = 1¾ cups).
Wait 2 hours, then retest total alkalinity.
Never mix different products together in the same bottle or pail. Always follow label instructions for exact dosing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need to raise alkalinity?
Low total alkalinity can contribute to unstable pH levels. Supporting proper alkalinity may help reduce pH fluctuations and support balanced pool water conditions during regular maintenance.
What’s the ideal total alkalinity for a pool?
Many pools aim for a total alkalinity range of approximately 80–120 ppm. Always test your water before application and adjust gradually based on test results and label directions.
Can I use this in a saltwater pool?
Yes, this sodium bicarbonate formula is compatible with saltwater, chlorine, and bromine pool systems when used according to instructions.
How long before I can swim?
Allow adequate time for the product to fully dissolve and circulate before resuming swimming. Testing the water after circulation is recommended to confirm balanced conditions.
Does this also affect pH?
This product is intended to primarily raise total alkalinity. A slight increase in pH may also occur, so regular testing is recommended.
Is this product compatible with Baquacil?
Yes, this alkalinity increaser is compatible with Baquacil systems and can be used as part of a regular water balancing routine.
