Product Information
Full details
The Jarder Total Alkalinity Increaser is designed for hot tub, spa, and pool owners who need to restore chemical balance to their water systems. By efficiently raising total alkalinity levels that have dropped below 80mg/l, this product acts as a critical buffer to stabilize pH levels, ultimately ensuring the water remains clear and safe for swimmers. While it is highly effective at chemical correction, it is important to measure your water levels precisely with test strips before application to avoid over-correction.

FAQs
What is the ideal alkalinity level?
The ideal range for total alkalinity is generally between 80mg/l and 120mg/l.
How often should I test my water?
For hot tubs, it is recommended to test before each use or at least twice a week. For swimming pools, once or twice a week is standard.
Can I add this directly to the skimmer?
Yes, you can add it to the skimmer while the pump is running, or dissolve it in a bucket of water first for more even distribution.
Does this product affect pH levels?
Yes, it raises alkalinity, which serves as a buffer for pH. By stabilizing alkalinity, you indirectly help keep your pH in a more stable range.
Is this safe for salt-water pools?
Yes, it is compatible with salt-water pool systems as it does not interfere with the salt chlorinator cells.
Troubleshooting
Alkalinity levels remain low after treatment
Ensure the circulation pump has run for at least 6 hours and re-test; if still low, apply another small, measured dose.
Water appears cloudy after application
This is often temporary; ensure your filtration system is running and that the filter media is clean to help clear the water.
