Alkalinity Booster 25 Kg – Sodium Bicarbonite
R745,00 excl
An alkalinity increaser raises total alkalinity and stabilizes pH levels in swimming pool water to prevent corrosion and equipment damage. This is Alkalinity Booster 25 Kg.
Description
An alkalinity increaser raises total alkalinity and stabilizes pH levels in swimming pool water to prevent corrosion and equipment damage. [1, 2]
How It Works
- Acts as a buffer: Total alkalinity protects your pool water against sudden pH changes from rain, heavy use, or environmental factors.
- Protects surfaces: Low alkalinity causes water to become corrosive, which can damage pool walls, ladders, and heating systems.
Usage and Dosage
- Ideal range: Total alkalinity should sit between 80 and 120 parts per million (ppm) for most pools. [1]
- Standard dosage: Typically, 1 kg of a product like Alkalinity Booster 25 Kg, raises total alkalinity by 10 ppm in a 50,000-litre pool. [1]
- Application steps: Turn off the pump, mix the required amount in a bucket of water, and pour it into the deep end of the pool. Wait about an hour before turning the filtration system back on.
When purchasing an alkalinity booster in a 25kg bulk size, the options generally fall into two primary applications: commercial pool maintenance (sodium bicarbonate) or industrial laundry processing (alkaline builders). [1, 2, 3]
For swimming pools, a 25kg supply is typically a commercial or trade-only item,
Types of 25kg Alkalinity Boosters
-
- Swimming Pool Treatments: Chemically composed of sodium bicarbonate. It raises Total Alkalinity (TA) to prevent severe pH fluctuations (“pH bounce”), protects pool equipment from acidic corrosion, and enhances swimmer comfort. [1, 2, 3]
- Industrial Laundry Boosters: Formulated for heavily soiled industrial or hospitality linen. These additives raise the wash water’s pH level to optimize detergent performance and strip stubborn greases or oils.
General Dosage for Swimming Pools
If you are treating a pool, the standard industry guideline is that 1kg to 2kg of alkalinity booster will raise the Total Alkalinity by 10 ppm in a 50,000-litre pool. [1, 2]
- Ideal Range for Marbelite Pools: 80 – 120 ppm
- Ideal Range for Fibreglass Pools: 125 – 150 ppm
