BioGuard Balance Pak 200 - 6 lb

pH Increaser for Balanced, Comfortable Pool Water

BioGuard Balance Pak 200 is a pH increaser designed to raise low pH in swimming pool water and help protect your pool from the problems caused by acidic water. This 6 lb size is a convenient choice for routine pool maintenance, seasonal water balancing, and correcting low pH before it leads to equipment corrosion, plaster etching, liner wrinkling, or swimmer discomfort.

Keeping pool pH in the proper range is essential for water comfort, sanitizer performance, and long-term pool protection. When pH is too low, water can become corrosive and irritating, which may affect pool equipment, surfaces, liners, and swimmers. BioGuard Balance Pak 200 helps bring pH back into balance so your pool water is easier to manage and more comfortable to enjoy.

Use BioGuard Balance Pak 200 when testing shows that pool pH is below the recommended range.

Product Details

Compatibility and Requirements

BioGuard Balance Pak 200 is designed for swimming pool water balancing. Use it when a reliable water test shows that pH is low and needs to be increased. It should be added directly to pool water, then circulated before retesting.

For best results, make pH adjustments before adding certain specialty treatments, since many algaecides and other pool chemicals perform best when pH is within the proper range. Avoid overcorrecting by dosing gradually, circulating the water, and retesting before adding more product.

How to Use

Test Pool Water

Test pH before treatment using a reliable pool test kit, test strips, or professional water analysis. Confirm that pH is below the desired range before adding BioGuard Balance Pak 200.

Add to the Deep End

To raise pH, distribute a maximum of 1 lb per 10,000 gallons of pool water directly into the deep end of the pool.

Circulate and Retest

Allow the water to circulate for 2 to 3 hours. Retest pH after circulation and repeat treatment if necessary, following label directions.

Maintain the Proper Range

For most pools, aim to keep pH in the recommended range listed on your water-care program or product label. Retailer guidance commonly identifies 7.4 to 7.6 as an ideal pH range for swimmer comfort and equipment protection.
