Total Alkalinity Booster Water Balancer

Test your water first to determine current total alkalinity levels. Mix the booster with water in a bucket (never add water to chemical). Add the mixed solution evenly to your pool or spa while the circulation system is running. Add in small increments (about ¼ dose at a time) every 6 hours until desired alkalinity is reached — this helps prevent large pH swings known as “pH bounce."

Total alkalinity acts like a buffer for your water’s pH — helping resist sudden swings that can make sanitizer levels ineffective or irritating. Proper alkalinity: Helps stabilize pH to keep it within the ideal range Prevents corrosion of metal parts, heaters, and pumps Reduces eye and skin irritation for swimmers and spa users Supports sanitizer performance so chlorine/bromine works more efficiently Protects pool finishes from etching and wear caused by aggressive water Keeping total alkalinity in the correct range creates a stable and comfortable water environment.

Aqua Coastal Total Alkalinity Booster Water Balancer is a granular alkalinity increaser designed to raise the total alkalinity in your pool or spa water. Proper total alkalinity helps stabilize your water chemistry, especially pH levels, making it easier to maintain safe, clear water and preventing problems like corrosion or surface damage. When total alkalinity is too low, water can become corrosive and cause irritation or damage to pool/spa equipment and surfaces.
