In The Swim Pool Granular pH Reducer - 100 Pounds (2 X 50 Pound Buckets)

In the Swim Granular Pool pH Reducer is easy-to-use and dissolves fast. Maintaining proper pH and alkalinity balance is key to maintaining a pools health. pH balance is how acidic or basic the water is. The pH scale is 0-14. Residential and commercial pools and spas should range between 7.2 - 7.6 with an ideal level of 7.4. Alkalinity helps to stabilize the pH balance in your pool. Alkalinity range for residential and commercial pools and spas should be between 80 - 120 ppm. If the pH and alkalinity balance fluctuate high or low, you may experience negative side effects. The first step to maintaining proper pH and Alkalinity is completing a water test. Water can be tested with a DPD/OTO droplet test kit, water test strips, or digital testing. Once a water test has been completed, we want to begin with alkalinity. Alkalinity is the buffer for the pH. If alkalinity is high, use granular pool pH reducer to adjust the alkalinity between 80-120ppm*. Once your alkalinity is within range, you can start to adjust the pH. Now, re-test the water. If the pH is above 7.6, please add 1.5 lbs per 10,000 gallons. Measure out the suggested product amount per water volume. Add the pH reducer to a chemical-safe container and mix with at least 1 gallon of water to dissolve. Pour the mixture around the perimeter of the pool. The circulation system should be running during this process. Test the water again after 3-4 hours. Repeat as needed until pH and alkalinity are within desired range. Parts Per Million*
