Regal Alkalinity Plus
Product Overview
A proven choice for stabilizing pH levels and preventing the corrosive effects of low total alkalinity.
Regal Alkalinity Plus is what pool techs reach for when water chemistry becomes volatile. This 5 LBS. container of 100.0% Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate provides a reliable buffer to prevent pH bounce, which can lead to swimmer discomfort and equipment damage. In our experience, maintaining a steady alkalinity level is the standard specification for ensuring your sanitizer works efficiently while protecting plaster and vinyl surfaces from etching or staining.
Benefits & What Makes It Different
100.0% Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate
This high-purity granular formula effectively raises total alkalinity without adding unwanted byproducts like cyanuric acid or calcium.
Prevents pH Bounce
By acting as a chemical buffer, it stops the rapid pH swings that cause swimmer eye irritation and reduce the effectiveness of your chlorine.
Surface and Equipment Protection
Properly balanced alkalinity prevents the water from becoming aggressive, which reliably handles the risk of etching plaster or corroding metal components.

Pro Tip
Always adjust your total alkalinity before attempting to balance your pH; if alkalinity is low, your pH will be nearly impossible to lock in. In regions with high rainfall, check alkalinity more frequently as rain is naturally acidic and can deplete your buffer quickly.
Common Questions & Instructions
How much Regal Alkalinity Plus should I add to my pool?
The standard dosage is 1.5 lbs per 10,000 gallons of pool water to raise alkalinity by approximately 10 ppm. Always test your water first and add the product in increments to reach the target range of 80-120 ppm.
Does this product contain cyanuric acid or affect calcium hardness?
No, this product is pure Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate and does not add CYA/stabilizer or increase calcium hardness levels, making it safe for frequent use in all pool types.
How soon can I swim after adding Alkalinity Plus?
We recommend waiting at least 30 minutes to an hour with the pump running to ensure full dispersion. Directions: Add directly to the pool water with the pump and filter running for best dispersion.
