Description
- Total alkalinity increaser
- Prevents pH change
- Improves swimmer comfort and corrosion due to improper pH
SpaGuard Total Alkalinity Increaser raises total alkalinity in spa water. Low total alkalinity my cause spa water to be corrosive to metal causing staining, etching or distorting of spa surfaces. Proper alkalinity reduces "pH bounce" by buffering the water against undesirable pH changes. Total alkalinity should be maintained in the range of 125-150 ppm in spas.
Product Dosage
- Use all level measurements. 4 tablespoons = 1/4 cup

Directions
- Use an accurate test method to determine alkalinity of water
- Using the chart above and alkalinity test results determine the required amount of SpaGuard Total Alkalinity Increaser needed to adjust the alkalinity to maintain a reading of 150 ppm* - For spas on the BioGuard Soft Soak program, adjust the alkalinity to maintain an 80-120 ppm reading
- With pump running on high speed, pour the required amount directly into spa water and continue running pump for 30 minutes
