PoolBrite Improve Alkalinity Pool Treatment 1kg

PoolBrite Improve Alkalinity Pool Treatment 1kg is a concentrated chemical regulator used to increase the total alkalinity of swimming pool water.

It functions as a primary pH stabiliser, preventing rapid acidity changes that lead to eye irritation and metal corrosion.

This product ensures that pool sanitisers remain effective by maintaining a consistent chemical environment.

Product Specifications and Features

• • Pure Sodium Bicarbonate Formulation provides a high-purity alkaline base that dissolves quickly without leaving cloudy residue or gritty deposits on the pool floor.
• • pH Buffer Capacity effectively absorbs chemical shocks from rainwater or chlorine additions, stopping the condition known as pH bounce.
• • Non-Sludgy Granules are specifically processed to flow easily, allowing for accurate measurement and even distribution throughout the water volume.
• • Universal Water Compatibility means the treatment is safe for use in chlorinated, salt water, and mineral-based pool systems across all surface types.

Ideal Use and Application

• • Low Alkalinity Correction should be performed when testing shows levels below eighty parts per million to protect the pool pump and heater from acidic wear.
• • Post-Rain Recovery is essential in South African summer rainfall regions, as storm water often has very low alkalinity which can crash the pool balance overnight.
• • Pre-Chlorination Step ensures that when you shock your pool, the chlorine remains active for longer periods rather than being neutralised by unstable water.

Safety and Storage Precautions

• • Application Instruction requires the user to dissolve the powder in a plastic bucket of water first, then pour the mixture around the perimeter of the pool while the pump is running.
• • Protective Gear such as gloves and eyewear should be worn during handling to prevent irritation, and the product must be kept out of reach of children and pets.
• • Airtight Storage is necessary to prevent the powder from absorbing atmospheric moisture, which can cause the contents to harden into a solid block.

Frequently Asked Questions

• • How much should I add? Generally, one hundred and seventy-five grams of product will raise the alkalinity of ten thousand litres of water by ten parts per million.
• • Can I swim immediately? You should wait for at least one full turnover of the pool water, typically four hours, before swimming to ensure the chemical is fully integrated.
• • Will this clear my green pool? No, this is a balancing chemical, not a sanitiser; however, balancing alkalinity is a required first step before algaecides can work.

Maintenance Tip

• • If you are struggling with stubborn green algae in South Africa's heat, check your alkalinity before adding expensive shock treatments.
• • A "clever" trick is to keep your alkalinity on the higher side of the recommended range (about one hundred and twenty parts per million) during the peak of summer.
• • This extra buffering capacity prevents the intense UV rays and high swimmer loads from causing sudden pH drops, making your weekly maintenance significantly cheaper and more predictable.
