pH Up - pH Riser 7 Kg

pH Up - pH Riser 7 Kg

Raises the pH of swimming pool water.

Add to pool when pH is low. Proper pH balance is an essential part of pool maintenance. The recommended range is 7.2 to 7.8. If the pH of your pool is low (below 7.2), the water will be acidic. Discomfort from skin and eye irritation could develop. This condition also causes the chlorine to become unstable, and therefore less effective in killing bacteria, algae, and in the disintegration of organic matter.

The "Mega-Value" Pail for Serious Pool Owners

If you have a large swimming pool, buying chemicals in tiny 1kg bottles is a waste of time and money. When you need to adjust the pH of 80,000 liters of water, you need professional-grade bulk supplies.
The pH Up 7 Kg Pail is designed for the heavy user. Whether you are battling a massive pH crash after a rainstorm or opening your pool for the spring season, this bucket ensures you have enough alkalinity booster on hand to get the job done in one shot.

Why buy the 7 Kg Bulk Size?

• Spring Start-Up Essential: When you open your pool in the spring, the water is often highly acidic (low pH) from snow and rain. It can take 2-3 kg of product just to get the water balanced. Small bottles won't cut it.
• Cost Effective: You pay significantly less per pound compared to smaller containers.
• Peace of Mind: You never have to worry about running out halfway through a chemical adjustment.

The Science: Why Low pH is Dangerous for Pools

In a swimming pool, low pH (Acidic Water) causes three expensive problems:

1. Liner Wrinkles: Acidic water causes vinyl liners to absorb water and grow, creating unsightly wrinkles that cannot be fixed.
2. Etched Plaster: In concrete pools, acid eats the calcium right out of the plaster, leaving the surface rough and pitted.
3. Chlorine Loss: Chlorine dissipates incredibly fast in acidic water. By keeping your pH balanced (7.2 - 7.6), you stop wasting money on sanitizer.

Expert Tips for Bulk Chemical Storage

1. Prevent "Clumping"

Sodium Carbonate (Soda Ash) loves moisture. If you leave the lid loose, this powder will absorb humidity from the air and turn into a solid rock.

• Pro Tip: Always snap the lid down tight immediately after use. Store in a dry place off the ground (like a wooden pallet or shelf) to prevent moisture from seeping in through the bottom.

2. How to Dose Large Volumes

Never dump 7kg of powder into the pool at once.

• The Rule of Thumb: Add maximum 1 kg (2 lbs) at a time.
• Method: Broadcast the powder over the deep end with the circulation system running.
• Wait: Wait at least 2-4 hours between doses to allow the water to mix fully. Adding too much at once can cloud the water or spike the pH too high.
