Objective
This guide provides clear instructions on how to safely and effectively use Easy pH Up™ to raise your pool's pH, correcting acidic water to protect your equipment and ensure a comfortable swimming environment.
Why a Concentrated Formula Beats Standard Soda Ash
If your pool water's pH drops too low, it becomes acidic. Acidic water is a silent destroyer—it causes swimmers' eyes to sting and slowly corrodes your expensive pool heater, light fixtures, and ladders.
While traditional methods require dumping massive amounts of soda ash into the water (which can cause severe cloudiness and disrupt your alkalinity), Easy pH Up™ utilizes a premium, highly concentrated formula. This makes it incredibly efficient and fast-acting. In fact, just 6 ounces of Easy pH Up™ is equivalent to 1 full pound of standard soda ash! By using a smaller, more powerful dose, you can correct your pH smoothly without throwing the rest of your water chemistry out of balance. For the ultimate water stability, we recommend balancing your pool using the Hamilton Index™ balancing system.
Prerequisites
Have a reliable drop test kit ready to determine your starting pH.
Have a clean, empty bucket available for pre-dissolving the product.
Crucial Safety Rule: Do not add this product directly to an oxidizer (such as chlorine, bromine, non-chlorine shock, hydrogen peroxide, etc.).
Step-by-Step Instructions
Test the Water: Using your test kit, determine your current pH level to see exactly how much of an adjustment is needed.
Calculate the Dose: The dosing ratio is incredibly simple: Add 2 ounces of Easy pH Up™ per 10,000 gallons of pool water to raise your pH by approximately 0.2.
Pre-Dissolve the Product: Fill your clean bucket with pool water first. Then, add your calculated dose of Easy pH Up™ into the bucket and gently stir until it is dissolved.
Apply to the Pool: Ensure your pool pump switch is turned to the ON position so the water is actively circulating. Slowly pour the dissolved mixture evenly around the perimeter of the pool.
Wait and Retest: Allow the product to circulate continuously for 24 hours. After 24 hours, retest your pH. Repeat the process as necessary until you reach your ideal target range.
