In The Swim's pH Increaser will help you raise your Total Alkalinity and pH levels with half the hassle. Made of sodium carbonate, or soda ash, in granular form, makes for easy addition of application to your pool's water. When pH gets low, your pool water becomes acidic causing irritation to swimmers and damages the pool and its equipment. Granular pH increaser can help by stabilizing the pool pH and ensuring that your pool is safe for its occupants. More importantly, maintaining a balanced pH by effectively administering In the Swim's Ph Increaser also ensures that your pool water is refreshing and enjoyable on even the hottest summer day.
Managing Your pH Level
The pH level of your pool water is a vital element of your pool's overall water chemistry. PH measures how acidic or basic the water is on a scale of zero to 14, with the ideal pH for swimming pools falling in the range of 7.2 to 7.6. When the pH level of your pool falls below 7.2, the water becomes acidic and can cause eye irritation, corrosion of metal pool equipment, dissipation of chlorine, etching of plaster walls and unsightly stains.
To prevent low pH problems from occurring, keep an eye on the pH level of your pool and, whenever it drops below 7.2, simply add a pH increaser to raise the pH level into the 7.4-7.6 range. Your chlorine will be more stable, and other water balance parameters will too. It’s best to use In The Swim’s pH Increaser when you notice levels to start to drop and to prevent the harm of an acidic pool.
Raising Total Alkalinity
Depending on the size of your pool you will need to carefully measure your pH increaser in order to accurately and effectively increase your pool pH and alkalinity levels. Total Alkalinity measures all the hydroxides, carbonates and alkaline that is in your pool’s water. Your Total Alkalinity or (TA) levels should be 80-120 ppm. Total Alkalinity strongly influences your pH level, so if your pH is off, be sure to check the alkalinity. Total Alkalinity strongly influences your pH levels, so if you notice the pH is off, be sure to check the alkalinity.Common Questions:

What does pH Increaser do to pool water? In The Swim pH Increaser is designed to effectively raise both your pH and Total Alkalinity levels in your pool water.
How much pH Increaser should I add to my pool? If pH is below 7.2, add pH Increaser at the rate of 1 lb. per 10,000 gallons of pool water to raise the pH level in the pool. Dissolve pH Increaser in a bucket of water, mix thoroughly, and pour solution into the pool while walking along the perimeter. Do not add more than 4 lbs. of pH Increaser per 10,000 gallons at any one time.
How long does it take for pH Increaser to work in pools? After adding In The Swim pH Increaser, allow the pool water to circulate for three to four hours. Then, recheck the pH level and repeat the treatment as necessary until the pH is within the ideal range of 7.4 - 7.6.
What is the active ingredient of In The Swim pH Increaser? The active ingredient of pH Increaser is Soda Ash (100% Sodium Carbonate).
Are there any other positive impacts of balanced pool water? Yes! Maintaining the correct pH level reduces corrosion of pool equipment, etching of plaster pool walls, and deterioration of vinyl liners.
