7 Twin Cities: 651.917.3075 • Milwaukee: 262.783.6040 • Green Bay: 920.687.8351 Used to raise the Alkalinity of water. Alkalinity is the measure of the pH buffering capacity, or the water’s resistance to a change in pH. 1.5 pounds will increase 10,000 gallons by 10 ppm. Alkalinity Increaser - Sodium Bicarbonate Used to increase Calcium Hardness levels in water. Low hardness levels are damaging to equipment and the pool surface, and will give your water a dull, hazy look. High levels are scale forming and may damage equipment. 1 pound will increase 10,000 gallons by 10 ppm. Hardness Increaser - Calcium Chloride Lowers Chlorine and Bromine levels in pools or spas. Typically used after super chlorinating or when chlorine levels exceed health department requirements. Easy dissolve powder! 2.6 ounce will decrease 10,000 gallons by 1 ppm. Chlorine/Bromine Neutralizer (De-Chlor) - Sodium Thiosulfate Chlorine Stabilizer - Cyanuric Acid Stops sunlight from dissipating chlorine strength. Needed in outdoor swimming pools and spas that use an unstabalized form of sanitation (i.e. Liquid Chlorine). Ideal range is 10-30 ppm. 13 ounces will increase 10,000 gallons by 10 ppm. Liquid Cyanuric Acid available - See page 10 Water Balancers Alkalinity is the measure of the water’s pH-buffering capacity, or the water’s ability to resist changes in pH. It is essentially like an anchor for keeping pH where it should be. It also determines the effectiveness of ORP based controllers. When the Total Alkalinity of water is out of range, the pH can fluctuate rapidly and control of pH will be difficult. Low Alkalinity may cause corrosion or etching of the pool or spa wall surfaces and to the equipment. To increase Total Alkalinity use sodium bicarbonate as directed. When the Total Alkalinity of water is high, the pH of the water is usually higher than ideal and becomes very difficult to change. To decrease Alkalinity, test the water for Acid/Base Demand. Add calculated amount of Muriatic Acid or Acid Magic to satisfy the water’s demand for acid. Acid can be added right away or over time by running a lower pH level (7.2 – 7.4).
