Africhem pH Increase – Restore Balance and Protect Marble Plaster Pools

This product is used to increase the ph in marble plaster pools. also known as SODA ASH and is not recommended for use in fibreglass pools.

Low pH doesn’t just affect water comfort — it damages your pool surface.

Africhem pH Increase is specially formulated to raise pH levels in swimming pools, helping protect marble plaster finishes from corrosion, etching, and long-term surface damage. Balanced water keeps your pool comfortable to swim in while preserving the integrity of your investment.

If your pool water is too acidic, this is the correction step that brings it back under control.

Why Proper pH Matters in Marble Plaster Pools

When pH drops below the recommended range (7.2 – 7.6):

• Marble plaster surfaces can become etched
• Grout and cementitious materials may deteriorate
• Water becomes aggressive and corrosive
• Swimmers experience eye and skin irritation
• Metal components may corrode

Maintaining correct pH protects both swimmers and your pool structure.
