{"product_id":"dazzle-ph-minus-3-5kg","title":"Dazzle pH Minus - 3.5kg","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy use Dazzle pH Minus?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSafely lowers pH and total alkalinity in pool water when needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA high pH can cause the following issues:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscomfort to bathers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoor sanitizer efficiency, especially with chlorine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChlorine becomes weak and ineffective as pH elevates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn increased risk of scale formation, especially inside pool heaters and salt chlorinator cells\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCloudy water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to use pH Minus:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen the pH and or total alkalinity of your pool water is high, use Dazzle pH Minus to lower it \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTest pH as often as needed to maintain consistently at the following ranges;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal: 7.4 – 7.6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcceptable: 7.2 – 7.8 \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse 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\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe recommended total alkalinity level is based on your pools surface type:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlaster, marblesheen, fully-tiled: 80 – 125 ppm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVinyl, paint, fiberglass, acrylic: 125 – 150 ppm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply Dazzle pH Minus whenever the total alkalinity is high and needs lowering.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplication:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo lower pH:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf pH is 7.7:  use 60 grams per 10,000 litres\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf pH is 7.8 – 7.9:  use 120 grams per 10,000 litres\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf pH \u0026gt; 8.0:  use 180 grams per 10,000 litres (multiple applications may be needed)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo lower total alkalinity:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e240 grams per 10,000 litres lowers total alkalinity by 10 ppm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt is always best to lower total alkalinity slowly so as not to dramatically lower the pH at the same time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDivide 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\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdd that quantity each day to safely and slowly lower the total alkalinity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDaily Maximum: Never add more than 240 grams per 10,000 litres per day\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePump and filter should be operating \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSprinkle or broadcast evenly across water surface when pool is not being used \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCirculate water for 1 – 2 hours \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor pH: re-test to confirm or re-apply if pH is still above 7.6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor total alkalinity: When lowering TA, lower slowly (10 ppm per day).
