NewWave® Alka Plus (5 lb)

Stabilize your pool's pH and prevent rapid fluctuations with NewWave® Alka Plus. This 5 lb container of alkalinity increaser (sodium bicarbonate) helps buffer your water, making pH levels easier to maintain for comfortable swimming and effective sanitizer performance. Proper alkalinity is a cornerstone of balanced pool water chemistry.

• Raises Total Alkalinity: Effectively increases low total alkalinity levels in your pool water.
• Stabilizes pH: Helps prevent "pH bounce" and keeps pH levels steady for longer periods.
• Improves Swimmer Comfort: Balanced alkalinity contributes to water that is more comfortable for skin and eyes.
• Protects Pool Surfaces: Helps prevent staining, scaling, and corrosion associated with improper pH and alkalinity.
• Convenient 5 lb Size: Easy to handle and suitable for routine adjustments to total alkalinity.

Important information for using NewWave® Alka Plus:

• Ideal Range: Maintain a total alkalinity level typically between 80-120 ppm for most pools. Adjust pH first if it is very low before adjusting alkalinity.
• Application: Broadcast the required amount directly into the pool water, preferably over the deepest area, or pre-dissolve in a bucket of water for faster results.
• Testing: Always test total alkalinity levels before and after adding Alka Plus. Make adjustments gradually.
• Circulation: Allow the pool pump to run for several hours after application to ensure even distribution.
• Impact on pH: Adding Alka Plus will likely raise pH levels as well; re-test and adjust pH as needed after alkalinity is in range.
