Questions & Answers

Do you think this is safe for an Intex ?

All pools can be treated by this, it raises the pH levels in the water. Whatever the pool structure, it must be a good one.

How do you determine which active ingredient is in the product?

The sodium carbonate (ash) is a mineral that is found in water. As you can see, it contains an ingredient. The active ingredient in baking soda is sodium bicarbonate.

What is the measurement method you used for the amount necessary?

Having a dry measuring cup for pool products is a good idea. You can always add more if necessary after testing the water after following the instructions on the product.

What is the best way to use it for tie dyeing?

In short, yes. Despite the fact that I don't know the answer to the question, I still answered it When they can Google it, it makes things so much easier for them! "How is soda ash used?" "What is soda ash used for?" Fibers that are treated with soda ash have a different pH- By combining the reactive dye with cellulose fiber, the dye comes into permanent contact with the fiber, allowing it to hold the dye in place on it. As a result, the fiber molecules gain access to the dye allowing them to chemically attack it. with

You should be aware of the possible negative consequences! Please note that this is not meant to reflect negatively on the Pool Mate pH Plus product
3/5

Just a word of caution You may be able to cloud your pool for days if you add more than a few ounces at a time. In the end, I ended up adding more than was necessary to raise the pH and had to backwash and wait 2 hours after that There is a three-day clearing period for swimming pools. Had I waited for the pH to increase on its own once the sun was out for a day, I would have been fine. Just be careful when you use this product. It is fine.

The pH of the solution did not change Unless it can be improved, I would give it no stars
3/5

In my backyard, I have an above ground pool 15 feet in diameter and 48 inches deep. used the entire package over the course of two days and the pH did not change. In spite of the fact that I know these strips work, it didn't register on my pH strip. In the end, I let half the pool water out and tested it again, finding that fresh water raised the PH level. This is something I would not buy again, and I would like a refund. There was a lot of money that was spent for little or no return.

The job isn't getting done
3/5

The Arm and Hammer powder has been used to increase the PH of my pool in the past. The amount of time I used it so much that I decided to buy this product. In the process of measuring the amount of water necessary based on the size of my pool, etc. , I use a scale. It is odd that even after using the entire bag in a month, the PH remains The regular powder is more convenient. It would be a waste of money to purchase this product.

It clouds up the The Clorox PH Up product I used had never caused me a problem, but this product seemed more environmentally friendly Aside from posting good reviews it also had a decent price It was packaged in a friendly way, so I bought swimming pool was already I also had this problem when I added it the last time, but I had just added my slow-down solution to the code as well
3/5

I thought chlorine tab would release chlorine, so I was not happy with this combination. The problem only arose after I added this product this time, and it did the same thing every single time.

There is a cure for red-heads You see me
4/5

When I tested my water, it was acidic. I think this was the culprit. We are experiencing lots of rain (acidic where we live in the Northeast). I added this and brought it back My teeth now feel fuzzy when I add regularly as opposed to waiting for them to feel fuzzy once in a while. We took one star off for the price, which approaches $1 a pound when ordered in bulk. Quantity does not affect price, but the smallest the quantity, the greater the price goes up. It's nice, but $3+ a pound doesn't seem like a good deal. Compared to some others with brand names, this one is better.

There is an increase in PH
4/5

All of the bag of baking soda was used and still 12 lbs more was needed to achieve an ideal result. An annual bag and half of baking soda is usually more than enough for starting up a pool, and a half is usually enough to maintain the pH. It is still cheaper to buy baking soda, but PH plus maintained pH better after use with both products pool did not rebound after use with both products.

I went from a 65 to a 91
4/5

Was exactly in the right place at the right time. A star is taken off because it needs better instructions on how to put in how much. There was no way for me to know what it was. Testers that don't come with soda ash the most won't work, so you'll need to use your judgment. As a result of the Arizona summer storms, I had a low PH and it was About 2 pounds have been added to my body weight since I started on Day 8. The reading at 7 am was what I checked in the morning. I would say three or four.

It is a great value for money
5/5

A quality product such as this is one of my favorite things. Previously, I bought most of my chemicals from swimming pool stores and places such as Ph issues are common for me, so I usually purchase that particular product in large quantities. This allows me to purchase a much larger amount at a much lower cost. It really is a great deal. The next time I make this purchase, I will definitely do so again.
