Rx Clear Total Alkalinity Increaser for Swimming Pools, Sodium Bicarbonate, 25 lbs

Get prescription strength clarity with Rx Clear Total Alkalinity Increaser. This product is a pH buffer which helps prevent a pH bounce and locks in the ideal range of pH by neutralizing acids such as acid rain. It boosts up the effectiveness of your pool water disinfectant and is user friendly. A low total alkaline reading is indicated by corrosive pool water, a blue or green cast to the water and difficulty in holding chlorine residuals. Low alkalinity can cause equipment and plaster damage and if the alkalinity is too low or too high, the pH of the pool water will be difficult to maintain in the proper range.

One of the most important aspects of proper swimming pool care involves the maintenance of balanced water chemistry. When swimming pool chemicals are not in balance, swimmers can be at risk of contracting illnesses and suffering from skin irritation, the water can turn dull and cloudy, and pool equipment and surfaces can become damaged. The Rx Clear Total Alkalinity Increaser will quickly correct acidic water conditions in your pool, spa, or hot tub. It will slow the rapid dissipation of chlorine caused by acidic water that will help reduce eye irritation or redness, and is soft on the skin helping to reduce itchy or irritated skin after a swim. The alkalinity increaser helps stop corrosion of metal surfaces such as light fixtures, railings, ladders, screws, pool cover components, pool heater components, and metals in your pump or filter. It also prevents etching, pitting, and delamination of concrete, plaster, gunite, shotcrete, and fiberglass pools. Made of an industrial grade Sodium Bicarbonate, Alkalinity Plus will not cloud water. Comes in a re-sealable eco-bag!
