It is the dry alternative to liquid muriatic acid for water that has drifted high.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to use it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eApply 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandling and dosing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow it is sold\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShipping restrictions mean this item ships as a case of four 10 lb buckets.
