Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why is it important to maintain the proper pH level?
A: Proper pH ensures sanitizers like chlorine are effective and prevent damage to pool surfaces, filters and metal components. Low pH can lead to irritation and corrosion.

Q: How often should I test and adjust pH?
A: At least 2–3 times per week during swim season, or after heavy rain, refills or pool usage spikes.

Q: What happens if I let the pH stay too low?
A: Low pH causes acidic water that can damage surfaces, corrode equipment and cause discomfort to swimmers.

Q: Is Poolife™ pH Plus™ compatible with saltwater pools?
A: Yes. It works with all pool types, including those with saltwater chlorination systems.

Q: Can I add Poolife™ pH Plus™ at the same time as other water balancers?
A: It’s best to add pH Plus™ separately, especially from alkalinity or calcium adjusters. Wait a few hours between treatments and test in between for the most accurate results.

Q: How quickly does this product work?
A: Poolife™ pH Plus™ begins to raise pH levels within hours of application. Circulate for 4–6 hours, then retest to confirm balance before adding more.

Q: What’s the best time of day to add this product?
A: For best results, add in the morning or evening when the sun isn’t at peak intensity. This reduces evaporation and improves chemical stability.

Q: Can this product raise alkalinity too?
A: While its main function is pH adjustment, Poolife™ pH Plus™ may cause a slight increase in total alkalinity. If needed, rebalance afterward with Poolife™ Alkalinity Plus.
