SpaGuard® Total Alkalinity Increaser is a granular treatment designed to raise low total alkalinity in spa and hot tub water, helping to stabilize the pH and protect equipment.
Low total alkalinity can lead to rapid pH fluctuations (“pH bounce”), metal corrosion, surface etching, and bather irritation; this product helps prevent those issues.
The dosing guideline is approximately 1 tablespoon per 100 gallons of water to raise total alkalinity by ~ 25 ppm.
Compatible with all spa sanitizing systems, including chlorine, bromine, salt or ozone, when used with balanced pH and other water parameters.
Available in a convenient 2 lb size, suitable for regular maintenance of typical home spas, helping ensure your water stays balanced and your experience remains comfortable.

Compatability

Directions

Test your spa water for total alkalinity and pH before treatment.

With the circulation pump running, broadcast the required amount of the product across the surface of the spa water.

Continue circulation for at least 30 minutes to ensure full dispersion.

Retest total alkalinity (and pH) after treatment. Adjust again if necessary.

Store the product in a cool, dry place, out of reach of children and sealed when not in use.

FAQ

Q: What happens if my spa’s total alkalinity is too low?

A: Low total alkalinity can cause “pH bounce,” corrosion of metal components, etching of spa surfaces, and reduced sanitizer effectiveness.

Q: How do I know how much to add?

A: Use the dosing guideline of ~1 tablespoon per 100 gallons to raise total alkalinity ~25 ppm, then retest after 30 minutes.

Q: Will this product affect my pH or sanitizer levels?

A: Primarily it addresses total alkalinity but because alkalinity buffers pH, you may see pH stabilize. It does not directly affect sanitizer residuals but helps create a stable environment for your sanitizer to work.

Q: Can I use this in a saltwater or ozone spa?

A: Yes — total alkalinity is a basic water chemistry parameter, and this product is compatible when other parameters (pH, sanitizer, calcium hardness) are also maintained.

Q: How often do I need to treat my spa with this?

A: Only as needed when testing reveals total alkalinity is below recommended levels (often ~125-150 ppm for spas). Regular testing will tell you when to act.
