Does exactly what it needs to.

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Checked ph levels before and followed instructions and brought my oh levels down to were they needed to be. 5 lbs worked great for me as we just have a small pool for the kids to play in. Will use more as needed through the season.

Excellent product!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used the HTH pH down product to reduce the pH in our swimming pool. I had to level the balance in order to treat my water to eliminate green algae that was forming in the water. This product worked really good and the quality is amazing! I recommend it 100 %.

Lowers ph

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This ph down product is excellent for lowering the pool ph levels. I was experiencing some itchy skin and cloudiness and this cleared everything up. The granules dissolve quickly amd the bag reseals for easy storage. I’m very happy with this product.

Nice

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So first we had low PH. So we added PH up. It raised the PH but we probably added too much. So we were able to use this PH down, and it worked to get everything balanced! I’m content with this product working for us!

HTH pH Down

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used to have difficulty balancing the pH level in my pool. After adding HTH pH Down, the total alkalinity level has stabilized. I methodically use a test strip every morning. When my pH is too high, I simply add the recommended amount of pH down and before lunch time the pool is well within the recommended range.

Works Fast

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been having issues with my phone being too high in my pool. Which in turn effects the chlorine. My pool was so cloudy. Our local pool store said they could fix it or we could just buy this. Our water was clear in about 3 hours. Which is a pretty good turnaround time. We will make sure to keep a bottle of this handy for next year.

Lowers pH

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to follow instructions. Fully dissolves. You can swim immediately after application. No special application required, I just put it right in the pool. This was a 5lb bag and with a 20000 gallon pool you'll get 1.5 applications if your pH is at an 8.

Nicely balances pH

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased this item because of the extreme hot weather we have had that makes it difficult to keep the pool in good balance. Product did its job, keeping the water from clouding and giving me good test readings consistently. I would recommend this to anyone trying to keep their pH in check. After using the product, the overly dry skin after getting out, and especially burning eyes, stopped. Test results confirmed the chemicals were back in bal...

Fixed my problem!!!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just got my above ground pool set up and have been just dealing with stinging eyes and dry skin after I or anyone else swam. I just chalked it up to the chlorine, but after researching a little bit I found the HTH test strips and it told me that my PH was too high. I got this and the PH down and it has completely changed my pool for the better! Get yourself some of these and you won’t be disappointed!!
