Alka-Plus - pH Stabilizer 2 Kg

Alka-Plus - pH Stabilizer 2 Kg

Controls the total alkalinity of swimming pool water.

Alkalinity increaser will prevent erratic changes in the pH level of the swimming pool water, in turn helping the chlorine in the pool work more efficiently. Alka-Plus raises the total alkalinity of the pool water, preventing any corrosion that could be caused by the low total alkalinity.

The "Anchor" for Your Water Chemistry

Do you feel like you are constantly chasing your pH level? One day it's low, you add chemicals, and the next day it's sky-high? This frustration is called "pH Bounce," and it happens when your Total Alkalinity is too low.

Alka-Plus is the stabilizer that stops the bounce.

Think of pH like a balloon, and Alkalinity like the string holding it down. If the string is weak (Low Alkalinity), the balloon (pH) flies all over the place. By using Alka-Plus to keep your Alkalinity in the 80 - 120 ppm range, you create a chemical buffer that locks your pH in place, making water maintenance boring and predictable—just the way you want it.

Why Cedar Tub Owners Need This:

If you own a Northern Lights Cedar Tub, Alkalinity is your best friend.

• The Buffer Effect: Cedar wood releases acidic tannins that naturally want to drag your pH down.
• The Defense: High Alkalinity acts as a "shield," absorbing that acidity so your pH stays stable.4 Without Alka-Plus, the tannins will win, and your water will turn acidic enough to damage your heater.

The "Corrosion" Stopper

Low Alkalinity isn't just annoying; it's destructive. Water with low alkalinity is "aggressive." It attacks metal components (heaters, pump seals, ladders) and causes staining on vinyl liners. Keeping your levels up is the cheapest insurance policy you can buy for your equipment.

Alka-Plus vs. pH Up: What's the difference?

• pH Up (Soda Ash): Raises pH drastically, and Alkalinity slightly. Use this when pH is dangerously low.
• Alka-Plus (Sodium Bicarbonate): Raises Alkalinity drastically, and pH only slightly. Use this when your pH is okay (or slightly low), but your Alkalinity is under 80 ppm.

Directions for Use

1. Test First: Always use a test strip. The ideal range for Total Alkalinity is 80 - 120 ppm.

2. Dose:

• Hot Tubs: Start with 1-2 tablespoons.
• Pools: Broadcast the granules over the water surface.

1. Wait: Allow the water to circulate for 20-30 minutes.

2. Re-Test: Check the strip again.

• Pro Tip: Once your Alkalinity is set, you usually don't have to adjust it again for weeks, unless you add a lot of fresh water.
