25 Lb. Alkalinity Increaser

Stabilizes pH Prevents Corrosion Fast Dissolving Gentle on Liners

This essential balancing chemical raises total alkalinity levels to prevent pH "bounce" and protect your pool equipment from corrosive water. Use this whenever your test kit indicates alkalinity levels have dropped below 80 ppm.

Why You'll Love It

  • pH Buffer — It acts as a shield for your pH, keeping it steady so your other chemicals can work more efficiently.
  • Equipment Protection — Proper alkalinity helps prevent etching on plaster surfaces and corrosion on metal ladders, lights, and heater elements.
  • User Comfort — Balanced water is much easier on the eyes and skin, reducing the "burn" often caused by acidic conditions.
  • Cost Effective — By stabilizing your water chemistry, you spend less money on corrective chemicals throughout the season.

Best For

  • Low alkalinity readings (below 80 ppm)
  • Rapidly fluctuating pH levels
  • Opening pools in the spring
  • All pool types, including vinyl and gunite

How to Use

  1. Test your total alkalinity level using a reliable test kit or strip.
  2. Determine the dosage based on your pool volume to reach 80-120 ppm.
  3. With the pump running, broadcast the granules directly into the deep end.
  4. Allow water to circulate for at least 4 hours before retesting.
Pro Tip
Always adjust your alkalinity before trying to balance your pH; once your alkalinity is in the 80–120 ppm range, your pH often "locks" into place on its own.
Always follow label directions. Test and balance water chemistry before and after treatment. Keep chemicals stored sealed, cool, and dry.
