BioGuard Balance Pak 100 Total Alkalinity Increaser, 5 lb — Fast‑Dissolving Granules for pH Stability

BioGuard Balance Pak 100 is a fast-dissolving, granular total alkalinity increaser designed to stabilize pool pH and protect surfaces and equipment.

Keeping total alkalinity within the recommended range is one of the simplest ways to prevent wild pH swings caused by rain, heavy swimmer loads, or other chemical additions. BioGuard Balance Pak 100 is a finely ground formula that dissolves quickly when added directly to pool water, helping maintain a steady chemical environment so your sanitizer and pH adjustments work more predictably.

How will this product affect my pool’s pH stability?

Raising total alkalinity helps buffer the water so pH changes occur more slowly and require fewer corrections. Balance Pak 100 supplies carbonate alkalinity that absorbs acids or bases introduced to the pool, reducing the frequency of pH adjustments.

• Quickly dissolving granules that integrate evenly into pool water.
• Increases buffering capacity to limit pH drift after heavy use or storms.
• Helps other chemicals perform more consistently, reducing overuse.

Will this protect my pool surfaces and equipment?

Low total alkalinity can make pool water more aggressive, which may contribute to corrosion of metal parts, etching of plaster, and wrinkles in liners. By maintaining adequate alkalinity, Balance Pak 100 helps create a less corrosive environment for both structural surfaces and accessories.

• Reduces risk of staining and metal corrosion associated with low alkalinity.
• Helps preserve plaster finish and liner integrity over time.
• Compatible with routine water care when used as directed.

How do I use BioGuard Balance Pak 100 safely and effectively?

Test total alkalinity first and add the product in measured doses until the desired level is reached. The granules dissolve rapidly when sprinkled into deep water; always follow label dosing and circulation guidelines for best results.

• Measure alkalinity, then calculate dose based on pool volume and current level.
• Broadcast granules across the deep end while pump is running for even distribution.
• Retest after a few hours and repeat if necessary; avoid adding directly near pool equipment intake.

How quickly will I see results after adding it?

Because the formula is finely ground and highly soluble, you should see a measurable rise in total alkalinity within hours of application. Full stabilization may require a few circulation cycles and a retest to confirm target levels.

• Initial alkalinity increase visible after a few hours of circulation.
• Retest and adjust the following day to fine-tune levels.
• Consistent maintenance prevents recurring pH fluctuations.

Who is this for: BioGuard Balance Pak 100 is aimed at pool owners, service professionals, and property managers who need a reliable, fast-dissolving alkalinity increaser to keep pH stable and protect pool finishes and equipment. It’s appropriate for in-ground and above-ground pools where routine testing and maintenance are part of the care plan. If you want predictable water chemistry and fewer emergency adjustments after storms or heavy use, this product is a practical addition to your maintenance supplies.
