Product Information
Full details
The Wave pH Increaser is an essential maintenance solution for spa and swimming pool owners looking to restore water balance and ensure a safe swimming environment. Designed for those dealing with acidic or corrosive water, this 1kg formula effectively raises pH levels to prevent eye irritation, skin discomfort, and long-term damage to expensive equipment. While highly effective at stabilizing chemistry, users must exercise caution to avoid over-dosing, which can lead to cloudy water or scale buildup if not measured correctly.

FAQs
How often should I use Wave pH Increaser?
Use it as needed whenever testing reveals that your pH levels have fallen below the recommended range of 7.2 to 7.6.
Can I use this in both hot tubs and swimming pools?
Yes, this product is formulated to be effective and safe for both swimming pools and spa/hot tub systems.
How long should I wait before swimming?
It is generally recommended to wait at least 4 hours, or until the water has fully circulated and levels have tested in the safe range.
What happens if I add too much?
Adding too much can raise the pH above 7.8, which may lead to cloudy water and scale formation. If this happens, you may need a pH decreaser to restore balance.
Should the pump be on when adding the product?
Yes, the circulation pump must be running to ensure the chemical is properly mixed throughout the entire body of water.
Troubleshooting
Water turned cloudy after application
This often occurs if too much product was added at once. Stop adding chemicals and let the filter run until the water clears. Re-test levels before proceeding.
pH levels are not rising as expected
Check your total alkalinity levels first; if alkalinity is too low, it can cause pH to be unstable. Adjust alkalinity before attempting to adjust pH again.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use the Wave pH Increaser effectively, always start by testing your water using a reliable test kit or digital monitor. Ensure the pool circulation pump is running when applying the chemicals to allow for even distribution throughout the system.
Application steps:
- Calculate the volume of your pool or spa.
- Determine the required amount of increment based on your test results.
- Pre-dissolve the required dose in a plastic bucket filled with water.
- Pour the solution slowly around the edge of the pool while the pump is active.
- Wait at least 4 hours before re-testing the water levels.
Keep the container tightly closed in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight and moisture to prevent the powder from clumping. Always keep out of reach of children and pets.
