Product details
This is a one pound bottle of pH Up, a sodium carbonate balancer used to raise the pH of swimming pool and spa water.
When to use it
Water that drifts low on pH turns aggressive. It stings eyes and skin, it works away at plaster, grout and metal parts, and it burns through chlorine faster than it should. pH Up brings the reading back into the range where sanitizer does its job and the water stops attacking the pool.
Dosing
One pound moves pH from 6.6 to 7.2 in 10,000 gallons of water. Scale from there for your own volume, add it with the pump running so it disperses, and test again before adding more.
Keep the bottle closed and dry between uses.
