It also fumes when the cap comes off, corrodes nearby metal from across the shelf, splashes when poured, and burns skin on contact. Lo 'N Slo delivers the same correction as a dry granule that pours out of a container without a plume of vapor, doesn't attack the tools stored next to it, and doesn't turn a dropped bottle into an emergency. For most pool owners that trade is worth making on its own — before considering that the results are easier to control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe job it does is one of the most frequently needed in pool care. pH drifts upward on its own in nearly every pool. Aeration from water features, fountains, and returns drives carbon dioxide out of the water and pushes pH up. Fresh fill water is often alkaline to begin with. Salt chlorine generators raise pH continuously as a byproduct of how they produce chlorine. Left alone, high pH means cloudy water, scale forming on surfaces and heater elements, and chlorine that tests fine but sanitizes poorly — because the higher the pH climbs, the smaller the share of your free chlorine that exists in its effective form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLo 'N Slo brings pH back down, and reduces total alkalinity along with it. It dissolves quickly, works in every pool type and on every surface, and\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eswimmers can return 15 minutes after application\u003c\/strong\u003e. Dosing is organized by how high your pH actually reads, so the correction is sized to the problem rather than applied as a single generic scoop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"lti-pro-tip\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePro Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eNever add this product to a skimmer, feeder, or floater that holds chlorine tablets, and never mix it with any chlorine product. Acid and chlorine in contact release chlorine gas, which is genuinely dangerous in an enclosed skimmer housing or a storage shelf. Broadcast Lo 'N Slo over the deep end of an open pool with the pump running, keep it stored well away from your chlorine, and never combine two pool chemicals in the same bucket or scoop for any reason.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"lti-pro-tip\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"lti-pro-tip\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan role=\"img\"\u003eBioGuard®\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BioGuard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52257331282215,"sku":"kcf1791366098752","price":6.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0932\/9334\/7111\/files\/bioguard-lo-n-slo-3-lb-pool-ph-reducer_1.jpg?v=1791366104","url":"https:\/\/www.morningwillow.shop\/products\/bioguard-lo-n-slo-3-lb-pool-ph-reducer","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
