Robelle 2256B Alkalinity Increaser, 10-Pounds for Swimming Pools

Sodium bicarbonate is commonly used in pools to raise total alkalinity and maintain stable pH levels in the pool water. It is important to maintain total alkalinity within the recommended range of 60 to 120.

To increase the alkalinity by 10 parts per million (ppm), you would need to add 11 ounces of sodium bicarbonate for every 5,000 gallons of water in the pool. This ensures that the pool water remains balanced and prevents equipment corrosion as well as damage to the plaster.

Using sodium bicarbonate not only helps in maintaining the overall health of the pool, but it also contributes to a better swimming experience. By keeping the alkalinity levels within the suggested range, swimmers can enjoy crystal clear water and avoid any discomfort that may arise from imbalanced pH levels.

In conclusion, the use of sodium bicarbonate in pools is crucial for maintaining optimal alkalinity levels and preventing corrosion and damage. By following the recommended guidelines and regularly testing and adjusting the alkalinity levels, pool owners can ensure a safe and enjoyable swimming environment for all.
