Water Balance Chemicals

Cal Plus®

Cal Plus® is a mineral free grade chemical used to raise the calcium hardness level of swimming pool water. Used in conjunction with the Ryznar® Index, maintaining calcium hardness levels will help prevent the loss of grout and plaster in swimming pools. Exclusive flake formulation eliminates the usual dust problems associated with this chemical, and is also a quicker dissolving product. Available in 50 pound resealable pails, which are easy to handle, prevent chemical waste and deterioration due to moisture problems, and can be used to dissolve chemical prior to addition to the pool. Recommended range for calcium hardness is 400 - 500 ppm. Dosage: Add 1 pound for every 10,000 gallons of pool water to raise the calcium hardness level 10 ppm.

Total Plus®

Total Plus® is a mineral free grade chemical used to raise the total alkalinity level of swimming pool water. Used in conjunction with the Ryznar® Index, maintaining total alkalinity levels will buffer the water against rapid uncontrolled pH fluctuations. Low total alkalinity levels also can cause eye irritation and corrosion of metal and cementitious surfaces. Available in 50 pound resealable pails which are easy to handle and prevent chemical waste and deterioration due to moisture problems. The chemical is broadcast over the pool surface. Recommended range for total alkalinity is 80 - 100 ppm. Dosage: Add 1-1/2 pounds for every 10,000 gallons of pool water to raise the total alkalinity level 10 ppm.

Tip:

 

Which chemical is better for dechlorination of pool water, sodium thiosulfate or sodium bisulfite? Sodium thiosulfate is almost always more economical. Theoretically, 0.7 ppm of sodium thiosulfate would neutralize 1 ppm chlorine while 1.46 ppm of sodium bisulfite is required to neutralize the same 1 ppm chlorine. Both chemicals are slightly acidic. Sodium bisulfite is slightly more acidic.
