TA Plus – Professional Alkalinity Increaser (5kg)
As a retailer of hot tub and pool maintenance products, I present this professional-grade total alkalinity increaser, essential for maintaining optimal water chemistry in your pool or spa system.
Product Overview
TA Plus is a premium granular formula specifically designed to raise and stabilize total alkalinity levels in pool and spa water. This 5kg container provides precise control over your water’s alkalinity balance, ensuring optimal conditions for both equipment longevity and swimmer comfort.
The Importance of Total Alkalinity
Total alkalinity is a critical parameter in water chemistry that:
- Acts as a pH buffer to prevent rapid changes
- Protects pool surfaces from etching
- Prevents equipment corrosion
- Enhances sanitizer effectiveness
- Helps prevent scaling
- Improves water comfort
How It Works
TA Plus works by introducing carbonate ions into the water, which:
- Raises total alkalinity levels
- Stabilizes pH fluctuations
- Creates optimal water chemistry
- Provides long-lasting results
- Dissolves quickly and completely

Pool & Spa Chemical Guide
As a retailer of pool and spa maintenance products, I've created this comprehensive guide to help you understand and maintain proper water chemistry for your pool or spa.
Water Balance Essentials
pH Levels (7.2-7.6)
The cornerstone of water chemistry that affects all other aspects of water treatment:
- Too high: Reduces chlorine effectiveness, causes scaling
- Too low: Equipment corrosion, skin/eye irritation
- Regular testing and adjustment crucial for optimal balance
Chlorine (1-3 ppm)
Primary sanitizer for most pools and spas:
- Free chlorine maintains water safety
- Stabilized chlorine provides longer-lasting protection
- Shock treatments eliminate contaminants and chloramines
Alkalinity (80-120 ppm)
Acts as a buffer for pH levels:
- Prevents rapid pH fluctuations
- Protects against corrosion
- Helps prevent scaling issues
Specialized Treatments
Water Clarifiers
Enhances filtration efficiency:
- Coagulates tiny particles
- Improves water clarity
- Reduces filter strain
Algaecides
Prevents and treats algae growth:
- Regular prevention dosing
- Brush-free formulas available
- Compatible with all sanitizing systems
Stabilizers
Protects chlorine from UV degradation:
- Essential for outdoor pools
- Extends chlorine effectiveness
- Reduces chemical consumption
