Use our granular pH Up (100% sodium carbonate) to increase the pH level of your pool or spa and slow the rapid dissipation of chlorine caused by acidic water! Maintaining a proper pH level in your pool/spa water (between 7.2 and 7.6 ppm.) is vital for keeping the water clean and safe for use and reducing corrosion of pool equipment.

    imageHow often should I adjust pH? 1 Answer

    • pH should be tested at least weekly, and more often after heavy rain, high bather use, or large chemical additions. Regular pH adjustment keeps your water comfortable, clear, and chemically balanced.

    imageHow do I use pH Up Water Balancer in my pool or spa? 1 Answer

    • Test your water first to determine current pH. Mix the pH Up granules with water in a clean bucket — never add water to chemical. Broadcast the dissolved solution evenly over the surface of the pool or spa while the pump is running. Retest your water after a few hours and repeat if needed until pH reaches the target range of 7.2 – 7.6. Recommended dosage varies based on how low your pH is: If pH is 6.8 – 7.2: use 75 g per 10,000 L (≈2,642 gal) If pH is 6.5 – 6.8: use 100 g per 10,000 L (≈2,642 gal) If pH is below 6.5: use 125 g per 10,000 L (≈2,642 gal) Repeat dosing and testing until you reach the desired pH level.

    imageWhy is proper pH important for pools and spas? 1 Answer

    • pH measures how acidic or basic your water is — and it directly affects: Sanitizer performance: Chlorine works most effectively when pH is in the ideal range Swimmer/spa‑user comfort: Balanced pH helps reduce eye and skin irritation Equipment protection: Prevents corrosion of heaters, pumps, metal fixtures, and vinyl liners Water clarity and balance: Helps other chemicals stay in their proper range Water that’s too low pH (<7.2) can be corrosive and destroy equipment, while high pH (>7.8) can lead to cloudiness and reduce sanitizer efficiency.

    imageWhat is pH Up Water Balancer and why should I use it? 1 Answer

    • pH Up Water Balancer is a granular pH increaser made from 100 % sodium carbonate that is used to raise the pH level of your pool or spa water when it becomes too acidic. Acidic water can reduce chlorine effectiveness, irritate skin and eyes, and cause equipment corrosion. Using pH Up helps bring your water back into the recommended range of 7.2 – 7.6 for healthier, safer, and more comfortable water.
