Product Description

SpaGuard/BioGuard Rapid-Dissolve Alkalinity Increaser 1" Tablets (1.25 lb): Easy Total Alkalinity Control 

Quickly raise low total alkalinity (TA) levels in your hot tub with the genuine SpaGuard/BioGuard Rapid-Dissolve Alkalinity Increaser 1" Tablets. This 1.25 lb container of concentrated Sodium Bicarbonate tablets is a simple, pre-measured solution to a critical water balance issue. Maintaining proper total alkalinity (between 80–120 ppm) prevents rapid pH fluctuations (pH bounce) and protects spa equipment from damage and corrosion. The fast-dissolving tablets take the guesswork out of chemical dosing, ensuring stable, comfortable, and equipment-safe spa water with minimal effort. 

Key Features

  • Active Ingredient: Contains Sodium Bicarbonate.
  • Raises Total Alkalinity: Effectively increases the total alkalinity (TA) level in your spa water to the ideal range (80-120 ppm).
  • Prevents "pH Bounce": Stabilizes the water's pH level, preventing rapid fluctuations (pH bounce) which cause sanitizer inefficiency and equipment corrosion.
  • Rapid Dissolve Formula: The tablets dissolve quickly and completely when placed in the filter compartment (with the pump running), leaving no residue.
  • Protects Spa Equipment: Proper alkalinity prevents damage to heaters, pumps, and plumbing caused by unstable water chemistry.
  • Convenient 1-Inch Tablets: The pre-measured tablet format makes dosing simple and eliminates the need for granular measuring.
  • Enhances Bather Comfort: Ensures comfortable soaking conditions by keeping the water chemistry stable and balanced.
  • Dosage Guide: Typically, 1 tablet per 250 gallons (1000 liters) raises total alkalinity by approximately 5 to 10 ppm.

Application & Pro-Tips

  • pH Stability: Proper TA levels prevent the pH from bouncing up and down, making chemical maintenance easier.
  • Small Increments: Adjust gradually (test, add, circulate, re-test) to avoid overshooting the target range (80-120 ppm).
  • Easy Dosing: The 1-inch tablet size is perfect for accurate dosing in spas and hot tubs.
  • Application Method: Broadcasting the tablets widely across the water surface is efficient for dissolution.
