Proper total alkalinity prevents pH from "bouncing" due to rain, bather load & other chemical applications.
This helps to prevent pool staining, plaster etching or liner wrinkling due to improper pH.
Dissolves quickly when added directly to pool water.

What is pH?
It's a way to measure the acidity or alkalinity of water. This is the most important part of chemical balance because it protects the equipment, allows the sanitizer to do its best job and increases swimmer enjoyment.

What is total alkalinity (TA)?
It is a measure of the water's ability to resist changes in pH. pH can be affected by environmental factors such as acid rain, pollution, run-off from the surrounding land and fertilizers - just to name a few. Keeping the TA at the proper range will help prevent pH from fluctuating and help prevent scale buildup and cloudy water.
