Dosage: 180 g for 10 m³ to increase the TAC +10 mg/l

Usage

Collapsed / expanded icon

Use this product only in accordance with the instructions on the packaging.

Check the TAC at least once a year. The ideal alkalinity should be between 80 and 120 mg/L (8 and 12°f). This value improves flocculation and avoids sharp variations in pH.
With filtration running, add Alca-Plus® directly to the pool water.
Let the filtration run for 2 to 3 hours, check the TAC and readjust it if necessary.
If there is a control system, it is essential to maintain a TAC close to 150 mg/L (15°f) and to stop the pH control when adding Alca-Plus®.

Recommendations: Filtration must run every day (for at least as long as the water temperature divided by 2). The treatment should preferably be carried out in the evening after swimming. Use of Alca-Plus® may require acid pH correction afterwards. To avoid turbidity, do not add more than 500g per 10m³.

Warning: Never mix different chemicals in concentrated form. Always add the product to the water and never the other way round.

Product benefits

Quickly corrects pH instability

Quick-dissolving powder
No risk of metal corrosion
Does not cloud water

Alca-Plus® increases water alkalinity (TAC) et stabilises pH. Ideal for unstable pH levels.

Alca-Plus_® is a pH regulator. Its composition of very fine, pure granules allow regulates the ph and raises the TAC of the water quickly and effectively. It forms the basis of water treatment. It reinforces the water balance essential to the effectiveness of other treatments.

It can be used throughout the season as and when required, and is essential at the start of the season when pools open, particularly if the pH is fluctuating and the alkalinity (TAC) is below 80 mg/L.

Dangerous. - Observe safety precautions.

Alkalinity / TAC in Swimming Pools – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

TAC (Total Alkalinity) is measured in French degrees (°F) or mg/L. It indicates the alkalinity of the water, meaning the concentration of carbonates and bicarbonates. Alkalinity contributes to the overall balance of your pool water. TAC reflects the water's "buffering capacity", that is, its ability to absorb fluctuations in pH. The ideal TAC level sits between 80 and 120 mg/L (8 and 12 °F). If needed, use the alkalinity corrector Alca-Plus®.
The ideal alkalinity should be between 80 and 120 mg/L (8 and 12 °F). This value helps improve flocculation and prevents significant pH fluctuations. Where an automatic dosing system is in use, it is essential to maintain an alkalinity level of around 150 mg/L (15 °F) and to switch off the pH regulation system when adding Alca-Plus®. Testing your TAC is an important part of proper pool maintenance. It should be carried out at the start of the season when opening the pool, then approximately once a month, and whenever the pH becomes acidic.
The ideal TAC level is between 80 and 120 mg/L (8 and 12 °F). Alkalinity (TAC) plays a key role in maintaining the balance of your pool water. It is the water's "buffering capacity", meaning its ability to absorb pH fluctuations. A TAC level that is too low can cause pH instability, making it difficult to regulate. The pH may fluctuate easily, turning the water corrosive and damaging surfaces such as the pool lining or equipment. If the TAC is very high, the pH tends to rise quickly and significantly, and the water may become cloudy. Keeping it above 80 mg/L helps prevent sudden swings and sharp drops in pH. To correct low alkalinity and raise your TAC, use Alca-Plus®.

If in doubt, seek advice from a specialist. Bring a water sample from your pool to your nearest BAYROL dealer.
