Product details
Pool Season Alkalinity Up is a granular total alkalinity increaser in a 5 lb pouch. It is 100% sodium hydrogen carbonate, the same chemistry as sodium bicarbonate, with nothing else in the bag.
What alkalinity does for you
Total alkalinity is the buffer that decides how hard pH is to move. When it is low, pH bounces around after every addition and never settles, which is the state that causes staining, corrosion of pool surfaces and metal, and sanitizer that never quite keeps up. Raising alkalinity into range makes the rest of the water chemistry hold still long enough to manage.
Using it
The product is granular and made to be simple: broadcast it and let circulation carry it through the pool. Test after the water has turned over rather than immediately, and correct alkalinity before chasing pH, because pH will not hold while the buffer is low.
