Think of Total Alkalinity as the anchor, without it pH drifts constantly. Always correct Total Alkalinity first, then adjust pH.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How quickly does Alkalinity Increaser work?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: It begins working within minutes of application. Allow 6 hours of full circulation before retesting and re-dosing if needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can I add Alkalinity Increaser and chlorine at the same time?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: No, adjust alkalinity first, wait 6 hours, then add chlorine.

Test regularly to avoid overcorrecting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How long will a 10kg pail last?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: For a 50,000L pool needing a 10 ppm raise in Total Alkalinity, you need 1.5kg per treatment. A 10kg pail provides approximately 6-7 full pool treatments. For a 1,000L spa at 30g per dose, it provides over 330 doses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is this safe for all pool and spa types?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes, safe for concrete, fibreglass, vinyl liner, and tiled pools, and all spa pool types.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePickup and Delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/maps.google.com\/?q=15C+Douglas+Alexander+Parade+Albany+Auckland\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect Pools Service Warehouse\u003c\/strong\u003e - 15C Douglas Alexander Parade, Albany, Auckland\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHours:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mon-Fri 9am-4pm | Sat 10am-2pm\u003cbr\u003e\nNZ-wide delivery available.

The smaller water volume and higher temperatures cause cyanuric acid to build up rapidly, leading to over-stabilisation.

The smaller water volume and higher temperatures cause cyanuric acid to build up rapidly, leading to over-stabilisation.

Regular use will gradually lower your pool's pH. Test weekly and use pH Increaser (Soda Ash) to maintain the ideal 7.2-7.6 range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can I put tablets directly in the pool?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: No - never place tablets directly on pool surfaces. The concentrated chlorine can bleach and damage vinyl liners, fibreglass, and concrete.

Some pool owners do use them with standard chlorinators to enjoy the softer water and magnesium benefits. \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/contact\"\u003eContact us\u003c\/a\u003e to discuss your specific setup before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How is MagnaPool different from regular pool salt?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: MagnaPool uses a proprietary blend of 70% potassium chloride and 30% magnesium chloride - it is 100% sodium-free. Standard pool salt is 100% sodium chloride. The result is softer, more premium-feeling water that is gentler on skin and equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is MagnaPool chlorine-free?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: No - the MagnaPool Hydroxinator uses electrolysis to generate active chlorine from the mineral blend, similar to how salt chlorinators work. The difference is the source minerals and the premium water feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How many bags do I need for my pool?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Use the dosage table above. For startup: Pool volume (L) ÷ 1,667 = number of 10kg bags. For example, a 30,000L pool needs 18 bags (180kg) at startup. \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/contact\"\u003eContact us\u003c\/a\u003e for exact calculations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How often do I need to add minerals?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Minerals are only lost through backwashing, splash-out, overflow, and dilution.
