99% Min Sodium Bicarbonate (NaHCO3) Carbonate Pool Alkalinity Increaser Industrial Grade for Swimming Pool Chemicals

Product Description

Product Description
Effectively increases the total alkalinity of pool water to a safe (non-corrosive) range, preventing issues such as eye irritation, equipment corrosion, and erosion of pool wall plaster caused by insufficient alkalinity. Meanwhile, it stabilizes the pH value of the pool water, reduces the need for large amounts of pH adjusters, enables chlorine to play a more effective disinfection role, and helps improve water clarity, providing a safer and more comfortable swimming environment for swimmers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of adding Sodium Bicarbonate to a swimming pool?

Sodium Bicarbonate is used to safely increase the total alkalinity of pool water. This stabilizes the pH levels, prevents eye irritation for swimmers, blocks equipment corrosion, and stops the erosion of the pool plaster walls.

What is the purity level of your Sodium Bicarbonate?

Our product has a high purity level of ≥ 99.2%, ensuring high efficiency and rapid correction of pool water alkalinity with minimal impurities.

How much product should I use to increase the alkalinity of my pool?

The recommended dosage is 1.5 kg of Sodium Bicarbonate per 100 m³ of water to increase the total alkalinity level by approximately 10 ppm. Always pre-dissolve the powder in a bucket of water before distribution.

What are the storage guidelines for this product?

It must be stored in a cool, dry, and ventilated area. Keep it away from acids and avoid any exposure to moisture to maintain product quality and shelf life.

What packing sizes are available?

We provide a variety of packaging options including small packages from 0.5kg (1lb) to 10kg in Pillow Bags, Doy Packs, Gusseted Bags, Pails, or Drums. We also supply bulk 25kg or 50lb bags.
