Dazzle pH Minus

Why:

• Safely lowers pH and total alkalinity in pool water when needed
• A high pH can cause the following issues:
  • Discomfort to bathers
  • Poor sanitizer efficiency, especially with chlorine
    • Chlorine becomes weak and ineffective as pH elevates
  • An increased risk of scale formation, especially inside pool heaters and salt chlorinator cells
  • Cloudy water

When:

• See your Dazzle™ Retailer for a personalized water analysis. When the pH and/or total alkalinity of your pool water is high, use Dazzle pH Minus to lower it. 
• Test pH as often as needed to maintain consistently at the following ranges;
  • Ideal: 7.4 – 7.6
  • Acceptable: 7.2 – 7.8 
• Use 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
• The recommended total alkalinity level is based on your pools surface type:
  • Plaster, marblesheen, fully-tiled: 80 – 125 ppm
  • Vinyl, paint, fiberglass, acrylic: 125 – 150 ppm
• Apply Dazzle pH Minus whenever the total alkalinity is high and needs lowering.

How Much:

• To lower pH:
  • If pH is 7.7:  use 60 grams per 10,000 litres
  • If pH is 7.8 – 7.9:  use 120 grams per 10,000 litres
  • If pH > 8.0:  use 180 grams per 10,000 litres (multiple applications may be needed)
• To lower total alkalinity:
  • 240 grams per 10,000 litres lowers total alkalinity by 10 ppm
  • It is always best to lower total alkalinity slowly so as not to dramatically lower the pH at the same time
  • Divide 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
  • Add that quantity each day to safely and slowly lower the total alkalinity
  • Daily Maximum: Never add more than 240 grams per 10,000 litres per day

How: 

• Pump and filter should be operating 
• Sprinkle or broadcast evenly across water surface when pool is not being used 
• Circulate water for 1 – 2 hours 

• • For pH: re-test to confirm or re-apply if pH is still above 7.6
  • For total alkalinity: When lowering TA, lower slowly (10 ppm per day). Never allow pH to drop below 7.2
