Product details

Proteam pH Down is a granular pH and total alkalinity decreaser, packed in a 10 lb bucket and sold in cases of four. It is the dry alternative to liquid muriatic acid for water that has drifted high.

When to use it

Apply pH Down when the pool reads above 7.6. The target is a pH between 7.4 and 7.6, which is the range where chlorine works efficiently, where scale stays out of the plumbing and off the heater, and where the water is comfortable to swim in. High pH quietly wastes sanitizer, so a pool that never seems to hold chlorine is often a pH problem rather than a chlorine problem.

Handling and dosing

The granules dissolve quickly and the dosing chart is printed on the bucket, so match the amount to your pool volume and current reading rather than eyeballing it. Retest after the water has circulated. Dry granules are easier to store and safer to carry than liquid acid, with none of the fumes.

How it is sold

Shipping restrictions mean this item ships as a case of four 10 lb buckets. There is no single bucket option at this size.

Questions and answers

What people ask about this product, answered by our pool techs.

Can I buy a single bucket?
No. Shipping restrictions mean it is sold in cases of four 10 lb buckets only.
When should I use it?
When pH reads above 7.6. The target range is 7.4 to 7.6, and the dosing chart on the bucket gives the amount for your volume.
Does it lower alkalinity too?
Yes. It brings down both pH and total alkalinity, which is why high alkalinity water often needs it before pH will hold.
How is it different from muriatic acid?
It does the same job in dry granular form, which is easier and safer to handle and store than liquid acid, with no fumes to manage at the poolside.
