Know before you buy
Total alkalinity acts as a buffer for your pool water, preventing rapid or drastic fluctuations in pH levels. Keeping it in the recommended range ensures your water remains stable, which protects your pool equipment and makes sanitizers more effective.
For most pools, the ideal total alkalinity range is between 125 and 150 ppm. Maintaining this level helps keep your water balanced and comfortable for swimmers.
You should use this product if your pool water test results show that your total alkalinity is below the recommended 125 ppm range. Low alkalinity often leads to unstable pH levels, which can cause cloudy water or skin and eye irritation.
A 25 lb pail is a bulk size designed for extended use and regular maintenance throughout the season. The exact amount you need depends on your pool's total volume and how far below the target range your current alkalinity levels are.
It is generally best to add chemicals separately to ensure they dissolve and disperse properly. Always check your pool water balance and add alkalinity increaser according to the manufacturer's dosage instructions before introducing other treatments.
