High pH levels reduce chlorine effectiveness, cause cloudy water, and lead to scale build-up on pool surfaces and equipment. Africhem Dry Pool Acid 3.5kg is a powerful granular acid designed to safely lower pH and total alkalinity, restoring proper water balance quickly and efficiently.
Formulated for demanding South African pool conditions, this easy-to-handle dry acid provides a safer alternative to liquid hydrochloric acid while delivering reliable, professional results.
If your pool chemistry is drifting, this is the correction step that brings it back under control.
Why Proper pH Control Matters
When pH rises above the ideal range (7.2 7.6):
- Chlorine becomes less effective
- Water turns dull or cloudy
