Pool Mate 10-Pounds Premium Alkalinity Increaser for Pools | 100% Sodium Bicarbonate

Pool Mate 10-Pounds Premium Alkalinity Increaser for Pools

Maintain comfortable, balanced pool water with a premium alkali booster crafted from 100% sodium bicarbonate. This easy-to-dissolve powder supports a steadier total alkalinity (TA), which in turn helps your sanitizer work more consistently and keeps your water’s chemistry smoother to swim in.

What it does is simple but effective. By raising TA, it helps stabilize the pool’s pH and reduces the likelihood of sudden shifts that can irritate skin and eyes or cause cloudiness. The result is a more predictable, enjoyable swimming environment with less maintenance drama.

Key benefits and how it supports your pool care

• Raises total alkalinity to help keep pH from bouncing up and down
• Supports the effectiveness of your pool sanitizer by maintaining stable alkalinity
• Helps prevent scale buildup and corrosion on equipment and surfaces
• Dissolves quickly and is easy to add during circulation
• Formulated from 100% sodium bicarbonate for consistent results

Usage guidance and dosing considerations are designed to be practical. A typical dosing guideline notes that about 11 ounces can raise alkalinity by roughly 10 ppm per 5,000 gallons of water, though results will vary with pool size and current TA levels. Always test TA with a reliable kit before and after treatment to fine-tune the levels to your pool type.

How to use Pool Mate 10-Pounds Premium Alkalinity Increaser

• With the pump running, add the product directly to the pool water according to the included dosing table
• Test total alkalinity to determine if adjustments are needed
• Maintain TA in the typical ranges by pool type: Fiberglass 70–100 ppm; Marcite/Painted/Tile/Exposed Aggregate 80–120 ppm; Vinyl 120–140 ppm

Real-world use should be straightforward: extend the time between pH fluctuations, preserve equipment integrity, and keep water more comfortable for swimmers. The powder form blends readily, making it a practical addition to your routine maintenance kit. Pair with a steady schedule of testing and you’ll have a clear, methodical path to balanced water.

Why this matters

• Stable alkalinity contributes to predictable pH control
• Balanced water supports longer-lasting pool equipment and surfaces
• Quick-dissolving formula makes routine care simpler
