How do I test my pool water and use pH Plus if the pH is too low?

Step 1Test the water

1. Choose a reliable pool test kit that uses test strips or liquid reagents.
2. Take a water sample from elbow depth.
3. Measure the pH according to your test kit's directions.

Step 2: Raise the pH if it is too low\n The ideal pH range is 7.2–7.6 for pools and 7.2–7.8 for spas. If your reading is below the appropriate range:

1. Work out how much pH Up you need based on your pool or spa size.
2. Keep the pump running as you distribute the pH Up evenly across the pool or spa.
3. Wait a few hours, then test the water again. Adjust the pH if needed.

Safety when using pH Plus

• Wear protective gloves and goggles every time you use it.
• Carefully follow the product manufacturer's directions.
• Add the chemical gradually to avoid raising the pH above the desired range.
