5Lb Alkalinity Increaser

Buffers pH Prevents Corrosion Easy to Dose Fast Dissolving

Alkalinity Increaser raises total alkalinity levels to help keep your pool water balanced and comfortable for swimmers. Use this whenever your test kit indicates alkalinity levels have dropped below 80 ppm to prevent erratic pH swings.

Why You'll Love It

  • Stabilizes pH Levels — It acts as a buffer for your water, preventing "pH bounce" where levels fluctuate wildly and become difficult to manage.
  • Protect Equipment — Maintaining proper alkalinity helps prevent the water from becoming acidic, which can lead to costly corrosion on metal ladders and heaters.
  • Enhanced Comfort — Balanced water is much easier on the eyes and skin, providing a more pleasant swimming experience for your family.
  • Saves Money — When your alkalinity is in the right range, your other pool chemicals work more efficiently, requiring less overall maintenance.

Best For

  • Low alkalinity readings (below 80 ppm)
  • Correcting "pH bounce" or drift
  • Protecting vinyl liners and plaster surfaces
  • Routine water balancing for all pool types

How to Use

  1. Test water to determine current alkalinity level.
  2. Calculate the required dosage based on the label instructions.
  3. Pour the product directly into the deep end with the pump running.
  4. Retest the water after 4 to 6 hours of circulation.
Pro Tip
Always adjust your alkalinity before trying to dial in your pH, as the alkalinity level directly controls how stable your pH will remain.
Always follow label directions. Test and balance water chemistry before and after treatment. Keep chemicals stored sealed, cool, and dry.
