The ideal pool and spa pH levels are between 7.2 - 7.6 promoting bather comfort, optimum chemical effciency and protection of pool & spa plant equipment. Test the pH of your pool or spa water and if it is below 7.2, use pH Increaser to raise it.

pH Increaser Application Instructions

1. Pre-dissolve the product in a clean plastic container at a maximum rate of 10g of product per 0.2 gallons (1lts) of clean warm water. Stir well to ensure product is fully dissolved. Carefully add the resulting solution to the spa whilst the pump(s) are turned "on", preferably near to the water inlets to aid distribution

2. After a minimum of 30 minutes recheck the pH level and if necessary repeat the treatment until the ideal pH is established.

Note: Multiple treatments may be necessary to achieve the desired pH level.

FAQS

What other names is pH Reducer known by?

pH Increaser is also known as pH Plus, Alkali, Soda Ash or Sodium Carbonate.

What Happens If I Put Too Much pH Increaser In My Water?

If the pH rises above 7.8, the water becomes excessively alkaline. When this happens, chlorine — the chemical responsible for killing harmful pathogens — becomes less effective. High pH levels can also lead to skin irritation, cloudy water, and buildup on pool equipment.

Can I Swim In My Pool After Increasing My pH?

When using a pH increaser in your pool or spa, it's recommended to add the solution near the water inlets to ensure even distribution. After about 30 minutes, test the pH again. If it falls within the safe range of 7.2-7.6, you can safely swim.
