POOL ALKALINITY INCREASER WATERWELL AQUA BALANCE 1

Total alkalinity in swimming pool testing is like a security guard for your pool’s pH level. It measures your pool water’s ability to resist changes in pH, keeping your pH level stable¹.

Think of it like a sponge soaking up acids in the water, which would otherwise lower your pH level¹. This is why total alkalinity is often called a pH buffer, because it “shields” your pH from substances that would normally lower it¹.

The ideal range for total alkalinity in your pool is between 80 and 120 parts per million²³. You can test this using a pool testing kit or strips²¹, and it’s recommended to do this at least twice per week².

Remember, just like a security guard, total alkalinity is there to maintain order and balance in your pool, making sure the pH level doesn’t get too high or too low¹. So, keeping an eye on your pool’s total alkalinity is an important part of pool maintenance.

Product Overview: WATERWELL AQUA BALANCE 1 is designed to effectively increase Total Alkalinity (TA) in your swimming pool, thereby stabilizing pH levels. This product is essential for maintaining the correct alkalinity range, which in turn ensures optimal pH balance, enhances sanitizer efficiency, and helps prevent damage to pool surfaces and fittings.

Key Functions:

• Increases Total Alkalinity: Prevents ‘pH bounce’, ensuring more stable pH levels.
• Enhances Sanitizer Efficiency: Proper TA levels help your sanitizers work more effectively.
• Protects Pool Equipment and Surfaces: Prevents corrosion and damage to metal fittings and surfaces.
• Improves Comfort: Reduces the risk of skin and eye irritation.
• Prevents Discoloration and Algae Growth: Maintains water clarity and prevents green water incidents.

Ideal for Specific Pool Types:

• Particularly suitable for raising pH in fiberglass and vinyl pools where the ideal pH range is 6.8-7.2.

Usage Instructions:

• Dosage: 200g per 10,000 liters of pool water increases TA by 10ppm.
• Application: With the pump running, distribute evenly over the pool surface.
• Adjusting TA: Ideal range is 80-120mg/litre (ppm). Test monthly.
• Increasing TA: Dissolve in water, then add to the pool. Restart pump after 1 hour.
• Adjusting pH: Ideal range for fiberglass pools is 6.8-7.2; for Marblite, 7.2-7.6.

Precautions:

• Handle with care.
• Store in a cool, ventilated area.
• Do not mix with other chemicals.
• Keep out of reach of children.

First Aid Measures:

• Skin contact: Rinse with cold water. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
• Eye contact: Flush with cold water for 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
• Ingestion: Drink water and seek medical attention.

General Pool Care Tips:

• Use a metal remover like everblue Metal Remover if metals are present in the water.
• Maintain efficient filtration. Run the pump for 12-14 hours/day in summer and 8-10 hours/day in winter.
• Maintain a chlorine residual of at least 1ppm.
• Shock treat during extreme conditions or high bather loads. Recommended product: TURBO SHOCK.
• Regularly brush pool walls and floors.

Ingredients: Contains Sodium Bicarbonate.
