Clearwater CH0005 PH Plus Increaser for Swimming Pool and Spa Treatment

Product Information

Borax (sodium borate) is another powdery mineral that can be used to raise the pH level of your pool water. However, what it won’t do is affect the water’s alkalinity levels, which both soda ash and baking soda raise along with pH. Around 60% of UK households are in hard or very hard water areas. To avoid scale build-up (which can impact water quality and pump components) use a weekly dose of ClearWater Scale & Stain Controller.

Baking soda can raise both the pH and alkalinity levels, helping to stabilize the water.

Measure out the amount of soda ash you want to add to the tub. There’s no set amount to raise the water by “X”, but a general rule is to use 1 tablespoon per 100 gallons of water.

Managing Your pH LevelBoth soda ash and baking soda are used to restore balance, but one isn’t always better than the other. Why Use Soda Ash In A Pool? If you are going away we would suggest emptying the hot tub and cleaning it so the water is not left to go stagnant. Do not re-fill until you return from your trip. Start by testing the water (turn the jets off) using a testing kit. You can use test strips, a liquid test kit, or digital testing meter. These will all test for pH and TA levels. Take note of the pH level of the water. Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) is also an alkaline substance, but with a lower pH level of 8 – commonly used to increase pH and total alkalinity. In fact, most pH Increaser products are just baking soda in a fancy bottle! Remove the cover from Lay-Z-Spa to allow evaporation of the chlorine (keep the filter running constantly).
