Lifeline #4 Alkalinity Increase 25lbs
Local Pick Up Only
Lifeline Alkalinity Increase 25lbs is a large, granular alkalinity increaser designed to raise the total alkalinity in pool, spa, or hot tub water. Like most major brands, it is almost certainly composed of 100% sodium bicarbonate, a safe and effective ingredient for this purpose.
Key Features and Benefits
- Raises total alkalinity to prevent pH bounce and maintain stable water chemistry
- Prevents corrosion and damage to pool/spa surfaces and equipment
- Compatible with all pools, spas, and hot tubs; easy-to-apply granular format
- Helps chlorine and other sanitizers remain effective by stabilizing pH
- Safe for swimmers when used as directed
Typical Dosage and Use
- Standard pool dosage: 1.5 lbs per 10,000 gallons of water raises alkalinity by about 10 ppm
- Spa dosage: 1–2 oz per 500 gallons
Directions:
- Test total alkalinity; recommended range is 80–120 ppm for pools/spas.
- Add the measured amount directly to pool/spa water with the pump running to ensure even distribution.
- Allow to circulate for several hours before retesting and readjust as necessary.
- Avoid adding large quantities at once to prevent overshooting target levels.
Additional Information
Low alkalinity causes pH instability and can lead to corrosive water, eye irritation, and trouble maintaining chlorine levels.
Maintaining proper alkalinity is a cornerstone of pool and spa water balance, enhancing comfort and equipment longevity.
