BLUE WAVE® POOL WATER BALANCING CHEMICALS

The first, most important step to pool care is to maintain proper water balance. Balancing the pH, Total Alkalinity and calcium hardness levels will ensure that you are getting the most effective use of your sanitizing chemicals, preventing corrosion and scale conditions and providing water quality that is comfortable for swimmers. Test at least weekly to ensure that pH, total alkalinity, calcium hardness and cyanuric acid (stabilizer) are within the correct levels.

BLUE WAVE® pH INCREASER

Pool pH increaser, also called pH up is used to raise the pH level of the pool water to the ideal range of 7.2 to 7.6 ppm. Slows the rapid loss of chlorine caused by low pH, and slows chlorine dissipation, so your pool uses less chlorine. Stops eye irritation, etching and corrosion caused by low pH. Contains sodium carbonate “soda ash”.  Recommended dosage: 1 lb. per 10,000 gallons.

BLUE WAVE® pH REDUCER

GRANULAR pH REDUCER IS THE SAFER ALTERNATIVE TO MURIATIC ACID!
Use pH reducer, also called pH down as needed to lower pH to ideal range of 7.2 to 7.6 ppm. Stops eye irritation, cloudy water, and scaling caused by high pH. Boosts chlorine’s ability to fight bacteria and algae. Contains granular sodium bisulfate. Recommended dosage: 6 oz. per 10,000 gallons.

BLUE WAVE® TOTAL ALKALINITY INCREASER

Use Blue Wave alkalinity increaser as needed to raise the total alkalinity levels to the safe (non-corrosive) zone. Stops eye irritation, equipment corrosion, and plaster etching caused by low alkalinity. When properly balanced, Total alkalinity Stabilizes the pH level in pool water and eliminates the demand for unusually large amounts of pH adjusters. Properly balanced total alkalinity enables chlorine to work more effectively. Recommended Dosage: Use 1-1/2 lbs. of Alkalinity Increaser to raise the total alkalinity approximately 10 ppm per 10,000 Gallons.

BLUE WAVE® HARDNESS INCREASER

Use hardness increaser as needed to raise the total hardness (calcium) level in your pool to the ideal range. Prevents water from becoming corrosive and damaging your pool’s plumbing, heater and metal components. Stops staining and etching of pool surfaces caused by low hardness levels. Great for use in areas where soft water is a problem. Recommended dosage: 5 lbs. per 10,000 gallons to raise the hardness approximately 40 ppm.

BLUE WAVE® CHLORINE STABILIZER

CHLORINE STABILIZER CUTS CHLORINE CONSUMPTION BY UP TO 25%!
Chlorine Stabilizer pre-conditions your pool water to make chlorine last longer. Use at the beginning of each season to protect chlorine from the sun’s damaging effects and increase its effectiveness. Cyanuric Acid.  Dosage: 1-2/3 lbs. per 10,000 gallons.
