Product Description
Maintain perfect swimming conditions with the GLB pH Down Granular Dry Acid. This 2.5 lb pouch (MPN: 785336712529) offers a safer, more efficient alternative to liquid muriatic acid for correcting high pH levels. By balancing your water chemistry into the ideal 7.2 to 7.6 range, you ensure maximum sanitizer efficiency and prevent common issues like cloudy water and mineral scale formation. The quick-dissolving formula is designed for ease of use in all pool systems, including saltwater chlorine generators.
Key Benefits & Features
- Safe & Easy Handling: Granular dry acid formula is significantly safer to store and handle than harsh liquid alternatives.
- Prevents Scale & Irritation: Maintaining proper pH balance prevents frustrating calcium scaling on surfaces and equipment, while also ensuring a comfortable swimming experience free of skin and eye irritation.
- Quick-Dissolve Formula: Fine granules dissolve rapidly to treat your pool water efficiently without leaving residue behind.
- Enhances Sanitizer Efficiency: Ensures your chlorine or other sanitizers work at peak performance, helping to fight algae and bacteria effectively.

Warnings and Disclaimers
- Corrosive Hazard: Causes eye and skin irritation. Use [Chemical Resistant Gloves](https://www.ansell.com) and eye protection during application.
- Inhalation Warning: Avoid breathing dust. Apply close to the water surface on calm days.
- Storage: Store in a dry, well-ventilated area. Keep the pouch tightly sealed to prevent clumping from moisture.
- Mixing Rules: Never pre-dissolve in a bucket. Add directly to the pool water. Do not mix with [Chlorine Products](https://www.cdc.gov) as toxic gas may occur.
- Environmental: This product is acidic; do not dispose of near plants or lawns.
Pro Tips
- The Deep End Rule: Pour the granules into the deep end of the pool while the pump is running to ensure rapid dispersal.
- Alkalinity First: If both pH and Total Alkalinity are high, treating for Alkalinity will naturally bring your pH into range more effectively.
- Incremental Dosing: It is easier to add more chemical than to fix an "over-correction." Add half the required dose, wait 6 hours, and re-test.
- Equipment Protection: Maintaining a pH of 7.2–7.6 protects your heat exchanger and salt cell from [Calcium Scaling](https://www.troublefreepool.com).
- Testing Accuracy: Do not test pH immediately after a "shock" treatment; high chlorine levels can cause false pH readings.
