REGAL CHEMICALS 2lbs. pH Plus
Product Overview
Low pH can lead to etched plaster and corroded equipment, making Regal pH Plus a standard specification for restoring balance.
In our experience, this 2 LBS. container of Regal Chemicals pH Plus is what pool techs reach for when water tests below the ideal 7.2-7.6 range. Formulated with 100.0% Sodium Carbonate, it reliably handles acidity without the significant alkalinity spikes associated with other buffers. This specific 2lbs size is ideal for small-to-medium pools or fine-tuning chemistry after heavy rainfall.
Benefits & What Makes It Different
100.0% Sodium Carbonate
This high-purity granular formula effectively raises pH levels to prevent acidic water from etching pool surfaces or corroding metal components like heater cores.
Sanitizer Efficiency
Maintaining a proper pH ensures your chlorine works at peak performance; when pH is too low, chlorine dissipates faster and loses its ability to kill pathogens.
Bather Comfort
By bringing pH back to the 7.2-7.6 range, this product helps reduce the stinging eyes and itchy skin often caused by imbalanced water chemistry.

Pro Tip
If you live in a region with naturally soft water, your pH can swing wildly; keeping a 2lbs bottle on hand allows for quick corrections before the acidity damages your pump seals.
Common Questions & Instructions
How much Regal pH Plus do I need for my 20,000 gallon pool?
The standard dosage is 1lb per 10,000 gallons of pool water to raise pH levels, so a 20,000 gallon pool would typically require the full 2 LBS. container depending on the initial test results.
Will this product increase my pool's total alkalinity?
While Sodium Carbonate primarily targets pH, it will also moderately increase total alkalinity; however, it is more efficient at raising pH than Sodium Bicarbonate, which is the standard for alkalinity.
How long should I wait to swim after adding pH Plus?
We recommend allowing the water to recirculate for two to three hours after adding the 1lb per 10,000 gallons dose before retesting the water and allowing swimmers back in.
