Pool Mate 25-Pounds Premium Alkalinity Increaser: Balanced Water, Clear Results
Pool Mate’s premium alkalinity increaser nudges total alkalinity upward, supporting a more stable pH and a smoother pool experience. Made from 100% sodium bicarbonate, this powder dissolves quickly into circulating water, helping your sanitizer perform consistently while reducing the risk of scaling and corrosion on equipment and surfaces.
Maintaining the right total alkalinity helps your pool water resist pH swings, making chemistry management easier and maintenance simpler. This product works with most common pool finishes, including fiberglass, marcite, painted surfaces, tile, exposed aggregate, and vinyl liners, with target ranges that reflect typical guidelines for different pool types.
Key benefits
- Raises total alkalinity to stabilize pH and support reliable sanitation
- Helps reduce pH bounce, making balancing water easier over time
- Protects equipment and plaster from the stress of imbalanced water
- Easy to dissolve, with quick circulation in the pool
- Includes a clear dosing guide aligned with common pool types
TA targets by pool type
- Fiberglass pools: 70–100 ppm
- Marcite, Painted, Tile, or Exposed Aggregate pools: 80–120 ppm
- Vinyl pools: 120–140 ppm
How to use Pool Mate alkalinity increaser
Before adding, test your total alkalinity with a reliable test kit. If TA is below the target range for your pool type, add the product directly to the pool water while the pump is running. Refer to the included dosing table for exact amounts. A common guideline is that 11 ounces raises alkalinity by about 10 ppm per 5,000 gallons; re-test and adjust as needed.
Once added, allow the water to circulate for a bit, then re-test TA and pH to confirm you’re moving toward the target range. Regular testing helps you maintain stable chemistry over the season and reduces the need for frequent adjustments.
Pair this product with your existing test kit and routine maintenance for a balanced, enjoyable pool experience without guesswork.
