Easy-to-use granules for raising total alkalinity in pool water to help prevent staining, corrosion, and pH bounce.
Raises total alkalinity
Helps eliminate “pH bounce”
For all pool types
Prevents corrosion of equipment due to improper pH
Prevents etching of plaster and wrinkling of liners due to improper pH
Dosage
Measure pH and total alkalinity of pool water with suitable test kit. NOTE: Total Alkalinity should be adjusted first, then adjust pH.
From the chart below, determine the quantity of Alkalinity increaser required.
As a general rule, 1.5lb of Alkalinity increaser per 10,000 gallons of water will raise the alkalinity by 10ppm
