Product Benefits
How to Use
How to Use
- Before adjusting pH, test and adjust total alkalinity as needed.
- Test pH every week or whenever sanitizer is added using an HTH test kit or test strips.
- When the pH is below 7.2, carefully distribute this product while the pool pump is running.
- For each 10,000 gallons of water, add one pound if the pH is between 7.2 and 6.8.
- Add half as much product if the pH is between 6.8 and 7.2.
- Brush the treated area to disperse any undissolved particles and keep water circulating.
- After 12–24 hours, retest the pH.
- Repeat steps as needed until the desired pH is reached. Do not exceed a pH of 7.8, as cloudy water and scale formation may result.
