Why:

• Safely lowers pH and Total Alkalinity (TA)
• Use when pH is more than 7.6 to return to effective range of 7.4 – 7.6
• Use when TA is greater than 150 ppm
• High pH causes;
  • Discomfort to bathers
  • Poor sanitizer efficiency
  • Scale formation
  • Cloudy water
  • Increased risk of problems and major repair costs
• Highest grade mineral available
  • Fine, granular form

When:

• Apply as needed to maintain pH between 7.4 – 7.6
• Apply when required to lower TA

As a general rule, a Mineraluxe tub requires less testing and re-balancing due to:

• The stabilizing effects of the Mineraluxe system
• The dramatic decrease in products and product quantities applied

How Much:

• Dosage rate to lower pH is based on:
  • How much the pH is to be lowered,
  • A balanced total alkalinity. If TA is out of balance, adjust it first:
    • pH 7.7 to 7.9 – use 8 g per 1,000 L
    • pH 8.0 to 8.4 – use 12 g per 1,000 L
    • > than 8.4 – use 15 g per 1,000 L
• To lower TA:
  • 24 g per 1,000 L lowers TA 10 ppm
• 1 capful = 10 grams (approx.)
• Never add more than 24 g per 1,000 L per application

How:

• Operate pump with air off
• Apply product by sprinkling slowly over water surface
• Circulate for 1 – 2 hours
• For pH: Re-test to confirm – re-apply if pH is still above 7.6
• For TA: When lowering TA, never allow pH to drop below 7.2
  • Lower TA slowly – by 10 ppm per day
