Robelle 2306B pH Decreaser and Pool Mate 1-2256B Alkalinity Increaser for Swimming Pools

This pool care bundle contains two complementary products to help properly balance your pool's pH and alkalinity levels. The Robelle 2306B pH Down rapidly decreases high pH levels using sodium bisulfate, adjusting and maintaining the recommended pH range of 7.2-7.6 for pool water. The Pool Mate 1-2256B Alkalinity Increaser, on the other hand, raises the total alkalinity using sodium bicarbonate, helping to stabilize the pH. Together, these two products provide the ideal pH and alkalinity balance, preventing skin and eye irritation, corrosion, staining, and equipment damage.

The Robelle pH Down contains 6 pounds of sodium bisulfate and should be pre-dissolved before adding it directly to the pool water when the pH is above 7.6. In contrast, the Pool Mate Alkalinity Increaser contains 10 pounds of sodium bicarbonate. Adding 11 ounces of this product raises the alkalinity by 10 ppm per 5,000 gallons of water, and it should be added directly to the pool when the total alkalinity is below the desired range of 70-140 ppm, depending on the pool type.

Maintaining proper water balance is crucial for the effective functioning of pool disinfectants and preventing equipment damage. By using both products as needed, you can achieve and maintain safe pH and alkalinity levels, ensuring clean and comfortable pool water. This pool care bundle offers a comprehensive solution to rapidly decrease the pool's pH to the recommended range of 7.2-7.6 using 6 pounds of sodium bisulfate, while the 10 pounds of sodium bicarbonate in the Alkalinity Increaser raise the alkalinity to 70-140 ppm, stabilizing the pH and preventing corrosion. Proper water balance also helps reduce skin and eye irritation, and the 11 ounces of Alkalinity Increaser can raise the level by 10 ppm per 5,000 gallons, making it suitable for fiberglass, vinyl, tile, and other pool surfaces.
