WHY USE THIS PRODUCT
Pool water must have the right balance (pH) between acidity and alkalinity to:
• Enhance the bacteria-killing power of chlorinators
• Prevent corrosion and scaling of pool equipment and surfaces
• Improves swimmer comfort by maintaining proper pH balance
Two factors affect pool water balance: Total Alkalinity and pH. When the pH factor is too low (under
7.2), use POOL TIME™ pH UP as directed below.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE: Read entire label and use strictly in accordance with precautionary
statements and directions.
Start-up/Initial Treatment: At pool opening, PRIOR to adding chlorinator and chlorine stabilizer:
1 . Check total alkalinity with a test kit and adjust with POOL TIME TOTAL ALKALINITY INCREASER to
raise total alkalinity or POOL TIME pH DOWN to lower total alkalinity.
2. Check pH with a test kit and if it is below 7.2 broadcast this product as directed below in the
Dosage Chart. If pH is above 7.6 broadcast POOL TIME pH DOWN as directed on the label.
DO NOT add more than 40 ounces of pH UP per 10,000 gallons of water at one time.
Routine Maintenance: At least once a week, test pH with a POOL TIME TEST KIT. If pH is below 7.2,
broadcast POOL TIME pH UP in the pool at the rate suggested in the Dosage Chart. Re-test after 30
minutes and adjust until test kit shows a 7.2 to 7.6 range.
How to Determine Pool Capacity: Compute total gallons of water by multiplying dimensions of the
pool: Rectangle (length times width times average depth times 7.5), round (diameter times diameter
times average depth times 5.9), oval (long diameter times short diameter times average depth times
5.9), and consult with the pool builder for irregular shaped pools.
STORAGE AND DISPOSAL: Keep this product dry in original tightly closed container when not in use.
Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated area. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Do not reuse container,
but place in trash collection or offer for recycling.

or doctor for treatment advice. IF ON SKIN: Rinse off excess chemical and flush skin with cold water for at
least 15 minutes. If irritation persists, get medical attention. IF INHALED: Remove to fresh air. If breathing
is difficult, have trained person administer oxygen. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Call a poison
control center or doctor for treatment advice. IF SWALLOWED: Call poison control center or doctor
