Cleansol pH Up – pH Increaser Powder for Swimming Pool (pH Plus)
About this item
Cleansol pH Up is a fast-dissolving pH increaser for swimming pools that brings low pH (6.8–7.0) back to the ideal 7.2–7.6. Low pH makes pool water acidic – it rusts ladders and pump parts, eats plaster and grout, stings eyes and burns off your chlorine fast. pH Up fixes it quickly. It is a fast-dissolving powder with no fumes and comes with a 10 g scoop for easy dosing. Packs: 1 kg balti, 5 kg bucket and 25 kg bag.
Raises low pH · 1 scoop (10 g) per 1,000 L at pH 7.0 · Fast dissolving · 24-month shelf life
Test → dissolve in a bucket → pour near the return jets → pump 4–6 hours → retest

Why low pH is a problem
Below 7.2 pool water becomes acidic. It slowly corrodes metal ladders, pump parts and heaters, etches plaster and grout, and makes eyes sting and skin dry. Chlorine also burns off much faster at low pH, so you keep adding chlorine and it disappears. Low pH can even pull copper out of pipes and algaecide, leaving green stains and green-tinted hair. Rain and TCCA chlorine are the usual causes – so test regularly in the monsoon and when you chlorinate with TCCA.
Dose chart – choose by your pH test
| Pool | Water | pH 7.0 | pH 6.8 or lower (max at once) |
| Plunge pool | 10,000 L | 100 g | 200 g |
| Small home pool | 25,000 L | 250 g | 500 g |
| Villa pool | 50,000 L | 500 g | 1 kg |
| Society pool | 1,00,000 L | 1 kg | 2 kg |
| Hotel pool | 2,00,000 L | 2 kg | 4 kg |
1 scoop = 10 g. Pool volume (L) = length × width × average depth (m) × 1,000. Alkalinity below 80 ppm? Use Cleansol Alkalinity Up first – then pH holds steady.
How to use
- Test pH (and alkalinity if you can). Use pH Up only when pH is below 7.2.
- Measure the dose from the chart – 1 scoop per 1,000 L at pH 7.0.
- Dissolve in a plastic bucket of pool water until clear.
- Pour slowly in front of the return jets with the pump running.
- Circulate 4–6 hours. Swimming is fine after about 1 hour of mixing.
- Retest. Still low? Repeat the next day. Cloudy water means too much was added at once.
pH Up or Alkalinity Up?
| pH low · alkalinity 80–120 | Cleansol pH Up – raises pH fast |
| pH low · alkalinity below 80 | Cleansol Alkalinity Up first, retest next day |
| pH above 7.6 | Cleansol pH Down |

Pool green, cloudy or smelly?
Wrong pH is one of the top reasons. Follow the step-by-step rescue guide.
Safety & storage
- Causes serious eye irritation. Wear gloves and safety glasses. In eyes, rinse with clean water for 15 minutes; see a doctor if irritation continues.
- Never mix with acids or pH Down – add them hours apart.
- Do not add more than 2 scoops per 1,000 L at one time – the water can turn cloudy.
- Keep the lid tightly closed and dry, in a cool place, out of reach of children.
Frequently asked questions
What is the ideal pH for a swimming pool?
7.2 to 7.6. Test 2–3 times a week. Use pH Up below 7.2 and pH Down above 7.6.
How much pH Up do I add?
1 scoop (10 g) per 1,000 litres at pH 7.0, or 2 scoops per 1,000 L at pH 6.8 or lower. A 50,000 L pool at pH 7.0 needs about 500 g (50 scoops). Never add more than 20 g per 1,000 L at one time.
Why does my pool pH keep dropping?
Rain, TCCA chlorine tablets and granules (which are acidic), heavy swimmer load and low alkalinity. If alkalinity is below 80 ppm, add Cleansol Alkalinity Up first – then pH stays steady.
pH Up or Alkalinity Up – which do I need?
Test both. pH low with alkalinity 80–120 → pH Up. pH low with alkalinity below 80 → Alkalinity Up first, retest next day. pH jumping up and down → Alkalinity Up.
My water turned cloudy after adding pH Up – why?
Too much was added at once, or pH went above 7.8. Run the filter, wait 24 hours and retest. If pH is high, bring it down with Cleansol pH Down.
Can I swim after adding pH Up?
Yes, after about 1 hour of pump mixing, once it has fully dissolved.
Can I add pH Up and pH Down or chlorine together?
No. Never mix them in a bucket or add them at the same moment. Add one, wait a few hours, then the other.
How long does it last in storage?
24 months from manufacture, kept dry and tightly closed.

Safety & first aid
Keep out of reach of children and pets. Do not mix with other cleaners, especially bleach and acid-based products. Avoid contact with eyes; if it happens, rinse with plenty of clean water.
Test on a small hidden area first. Close the cap after use and store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
