In fact, balanced alkalinity makes the water gentler on children's eyes and skin. The product itself should always be stored away from curious hands, and dosing should always be handled by an adult.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill balanced alkalinity actually stop my kids from complaining about burning eyes?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The single most common cause of red, burning eyes in children is pH that is too high or too low, both of which are caused by low total alkalinity. Raising TA with Clorox Pool \u0026amp; Spa Alkalinity Increaser keeps pH locked in the comfortable 7.2–7.6 range so the chlorine does not irritate young eyes and skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow quickly does the product dissolve so my kids can get back in the pool?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe quick-dissolving granulated formula typically fully dissolves within minutes of broadcasting across the pool surface with the pump running.

A 5 lb tub treats thousands of gallons multiple times, and the Pack of 3 provides season-long coverage for a typical residential pool at a lower per-use cost, so parents do not run out mid-summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this work in a new above-ground pool my kids got for the summer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. New above-ground pools filled with fresh tap water have essentially zero total alkalinity, and skipping this step is the #1 reason new pool owners struggle with green or stinging water. Adding this product first stabilizes pH so chlorine can do its job and the kids can enjoy the pool right away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I use Clorox Pool \u0026amp; Spa Alkalinity Increaser step by step?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1. Test your pool water to confirm total alkalinity is below 80 ppm. 2. Calculate the correct dose using the Clorox Pool App or the chart on the label based on your pool's gallonage. 3. With the pump running, broadcast the granules evenly across the deepest part of the pool. 4. Allow the pump to circulate for at least one hour, then retest TA. 5. Repeat if needed, and only then move on to pH and chlorine balancing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much do I add to raise alkalinity in my pool?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe general rule is 1.5 lbs of Clorox Pool \u0026amp; Spa Alkalinity Increaser per 10,000 gallons to raise total alkalinity by about 10 ppm. Always confirm with the Clorox Pool App for your exact pool size and current TA reading so you do not overshoot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long after adding alkalinity increaser can I swim?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can usually swim within 1 to 2 hours after the product has fully dissolved and the pump has circulated the water. Always retest before swimming to confirm TA and pH are in the recommended ranges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this product compatible with liquid chlorine sanitizers?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Clorox Pool \u0026amp; Spa Alkalinity Increaser is fully compatible with pools that use liquid chlorine, chlorine tabs, salt chlorine generators, and most other common sanitizing systems. It contains no ingredients that interfere with any sanitizer type.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it work with saltwater pools?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Saltwater pools still require balanced total alkalinity to keep pH stable, and this product works the same way in salt cells as it does in traditional chlorine pools. In fact, saltwater pools tend to drift in pH faster, making regular TA maintenance even more important.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is included in the package when I order it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou will receive a 5 lb resealable tub of Clorox Pool \u0026amp; Spa Alkalinity Increaser, or three 5 lb tubs if you select the Pack of 3 option. No additional accessories are required, just a pool test kit, which is sold separately and available anywhere pool chemicals are sold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre there any safety concerns I should know about before using this product?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlways wear gloves and avoid inhaling dust when handling. Never mix this product with any other pool chemical, especially acids or chlorine products, as dangerous reactions can occur. Store the sealed tub in a cool, dry, ventilated area away from children, pets, and incompatible chemicals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does a 5 lb tub last under normal use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a typical 15,000-gallon residential pool, a 5 lb tub provides multiple alkalinity treatments across a full swim season. Pools that reflood, have heavy rain exposure, or see high bather loads may need more frequent dosing, which is why the Pack of 3 is a popular option for season-long coverage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between alkalinity increaser and pH increaser?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey are related but not interchangeable. Total alkalinity is the buffer that keeps pH stable, while pH is the actual measure of acidity. You should always adjust alkalinity first to the 80–120 ppm range, then fine-tune pH. Using a pH increaser without first raising alkalinity will lead to constant pH swings, which is why a dedicated alkalinity product like this one is the correct first step in any balancing routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Knacklos","offers":[{"title":"1 Count (Pack of 1)","offer_id":43647652954202,"sku":"RGNB084GQFX1S","price":12.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 Count (Pack of 3)","offer_id":43647652986970,"sku":"G0UB0FVNR8Y5X","price":42.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0740\/7969\/9034\/files\/granular-sodium-bicarbonate-based-alkalinity-increaser-that.jpg?v=1783889869","url":"https:\/\/knacklos.myshopify.com\/products\/clorox-pool-spa-alkalinity-increaser-kid-safe-swim-water-no-more-red-eyes-or-itchy-skin","provider":"Knacklos","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
