The 3.5kg Dazzle pH Minus is designed to reduce the pH and Total Alkalinity in pool water. It comes in the form of granules that dissolve quickly and safely, lowering the levels of acidity when compared to more hazardous liquid acids. It is essential to choose high-quality pH-balancing products to prevent introducing unwanted impurities into the water. Maintaining a balanced pH level is crucial as it prevents corrosion and scale formation, allows sanitizers to function more effectively, prevents cloudy water, and is responsible for the overall comfort of the water.
Why use Dazzle pH Minus?
- Safely lowers pH and total alkalinity in pool water when needed
- A high pH can cause the following issues:
- Discomfort to bathers
- Poor sanitizer efficiency, especially with chlorine
- Chlorine becomes weak and ineffective as pH elevates
- An increased risk of scale formation, especially inside pool heaters and salt chlorinator cells
- Cloudy water
When to use pH Minus:
- When the pH and or total alkalinity of your pool water is high, use Dazzle pH Minus to lower it
- Test pH as often as needed to maintain consistently at the following ranges;
- Ideal: 7.4 – 7.6
- Acceptable: 7.2 – 7.8
- Use Dazzle pH Minus whenever the pH is greater than 7.6 to bring back to the ideal and effective range of 7.4 – 7.6
- The recommended total alkalinity level is based on your pools surface type:
- Plaster, marblesheen, fully-tiled: 80 – 125 ppm
- Vinyl, paint, fiberglass, acrylic: 125 – 150 ppm
- Apply Dazzle pH Minus whenever the total alkalinity is high and needs lowering.
Application:
- To lower pH:
- If pH is 7.7: use 60 grams per 10,000 litres
- If pH is 7.8 – 7.9: use 120 grams per 10,000 litres
- If pH > 8.0: use 180 grams per 10,000 litres (multiple applications may be needed)
- To lower total alkalinity:
- 240 grams per 10,000 litres lowers total alkalinity by 10 ppm
- It is always best to lower total alkalinity slowly so as not to dramatically lower the pH at the same time
- Divide the total amount of Dazzle pH Minus needed to lower the Total Alkalinity by the maximum daily amount to establish the number of days to apply the product over
- Add that quantity each day to safely and slowly lower the total alkalinity
- Daily Maximum: Never add more than 240 grams per 10,000 litres per day
- Pump and filter should be operating
- Sprinkle or broadcast evenly across water surface when pool is not being used
- Circulate water for 1 – 2 hours
- For pH: re-test to confirm or re-apply if pH is still above 7.6
- For total alkalinity: When lowering TA, lower slowly (10 ppm per day). Never allow pH to drop below 7.2
