In The Swim Solvay Bicar Sodium Bicarbonate Alkalinity Up, 50 lbs. 81292

Inexpensive way I lower the Alkalinity in Swimming Pool water. Comes in a big bag so be prepared to store it somewhere dry. It is Industrial Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking Soda) which I used to buy as Alkalinity Down at the pool store for a lot more $$.

Perfect for our inground pool. I purchased this last year and I will probably get a total of 4 swimming seasons out of it which makes it economical.

It came in a paper bag, then a plastic bag over that, and it was in its own box, so none got spilled. I feel bad for the Fed Ex guy, though.I add baking soda to non-clumping kitty litter to make it clump. This soda looks like good stuff, it all fit in an air tight 5-gallon bucket, and it should last about a year. Buying the non-clumping litter and baking soda by the 50 lbs bag is cheaper in the long run than buying the name brand clumping litter, and it seems fresher to sprinkle the soda on top. My cats seem to like it; no accidents since I started adding soda to their litter

Using this for years on my pentair 60 filter.

On time and what I ordered

I think they should do more to be sure that the bag is not punctured and shipping as it’s just paper. However, the product works as described and I would order it again..

Comes as a fine powder and dissolves quickly (< 1 day). Great value. Packed well with no damage to packaging.

The sodium bicarbonate worked exactly as expected.
