Bring Low pH Back to the Comfort Zone
BAQUACIL® pH Increaser raises pool water pH to the proper range of 7.2 to 7.8. Balanced pH helps protect the pool surface and equipment while keeping swimmers comfortable.
It is compatible with chlorine, bromine and BAQUACIL® pools. The 4 lb container makes several adjustments in an average pool.
Low pH Is Hard on Your Pool
Water with low pH is corrosive. It can etch plaster, damage vinyl, corrode metal parts and irritate swimmers' eyes. Raising it back into range protects your investment.
Easy, Predictable Dosing
About ½ lb per 10,000 gallons raises pH by 0.2. Add, circulate 12 to 24 hours, retest and repeat until you reach 7.2 to 7.8.
Balance Alkalinity First
If total alkalinity is low, raise it first with BAQUACIL Total Alkalinity Increaser. pH holds steadier once alkalinity is in range.
