Raises total alkalinity to prevent pH swings and maintain water balance for a healthier pool.
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
Q: Why do I need to raise alkalinity?

A: Between 80–120 ppm. Always test before adding and adjust as needed.
Q: Can I use this in a saltwater pool?
A: Yes—this sodium bicarbonate formula works in all pool types.
Q: How long before I can swim?
A: Most pools are safe to swim in 15–30 minutes after full product dispersion.
