Adding Bicarb to the Pool:
The preferred method would be to add directly to the pool - allowing time for dispersion - minimum of 15 minutes before people are in the pool.
Alternative methods would be to add bicarb through the filter slurry tank.
Use the table below to determine how much bicarb to add in order to raise the alkalinity.
