LifeLine Alkalinity Increaser 15lb
LifeLine Alkalinity Increaser 15lb is a granular water balancer used to raise total alkalinity in pools, hot tubs, and swim spas, helping stabilize pH and protect surfaces and equipment. By buffering pH, it reduces rapid swings that can cause corrosion, etching, and bather discomfort, making overall maintenance easier and more predictable.
Key features & benefits
- Boosts total alkalinity to the recommended range (typically 80–120 ppm for pools), helping keep pH from drifting too quickly.
- Buffers pH levels so adjustments hold longer, which improves sanitizer efficiency and overall water balance.
- Helps protect surfaces and equipment by reducing the risk of etching plaster, wrinkling vinyl, and corroding heaters and metal components.
- Improves swimmer comfort by keeping water from becoming too acidic, which can irritate skin and eyes.
- Convenient 15 lb size provides enough product for larger pools or multiple adjustments throughout the season.
Use & basic dosing overview
- When to use: When testing shows low total alkalinity or when pH is unstable and prone to sudden changes.
- Typical target range: About 80–120 ppm total alkalinity for most pools; always follow manufacturer or dealer guidance for your specific system.
- General approach:
- Test water first with a reliable kit.
- Calculate dosage based on pool volume and current alkalinity.
- Broadcast product in small portions across the deep end with pump running, allow to circulate, then retest before adding more.
LifeLine Alkalinity Increaser 15lb fits neatly into a balanced program alongside calcium, pH adjusters, and sanitizer, supporting clear, comfortable, and well-protected water.
