SpaGuard/BioGuard Rapid-Dissolve pH Decreaser 1" Tablets (1.25 lb): Quick & Easy pH/Alkalinity Control
Quickly and safely lower high pH and total alkalinity levels in your hot tub with SpaGuard/BioGuard Rapid-Dissolve pH Decreaser 1" Tablets. This 1.25 lb container of concentrated sodium bisulfate tablets provides a simple, pre-measured solution to water balance issues, which are vital for swimmer comfort and equipment longevity. Maintaining a pH level between 7.2 and 7.6 helps prevent skin and eye irritation, protects spa equipment from corrosion and scaling, and ensures your sanitizer works efficiently. The fast-dissolving tablets are much safer and easier to handle than liquid acids and take the guesswork out of chemical dosing.
