FAQs

How often should I test my water?

Test your water at least twice a week, or more frequently during heavy use or after rain.

What is the ideal alkalinity level?

The ideal alkalinity level is typically between 80-120 mg/L (ppm).

Can I add too much alkalinity increaser?

What should I do if my alkalinity level is too high?

Use a pH decreaser or other balancing chemicals to lower the alkalinity. Follow the product instructions for proper application.

Check pH and calcium hardness levels. Adjust as needed. Ensure proper water circulation.

Alkalinity levels not rising

Double-check the dosage chart. Ensure the product is fresh. Test your water and re-apply in small increments.
